What's this?

I saw it keeping company with a mallard, but it doesn't look like a mallard itself.

Aha! Thank you. Is it strange that this one appeared to have a crush on a mallard?

Mallards are pretty flexible in their sexual habits, as this IgNobel-award-winning research shows:

Ducks Unlimited has a duck identifier:

(Although I see someone else already id'd the lovely wood duck)

Of course they do (thanks for pointing it out). The Internet knows all!

Perhaps it's a queen mallard; the only breeding duck in the duck hive.

Hahah I have no idea why that completely nonsense answer came into my head or why I felt compelled to write it down, but there you go!

It's fun to imagine ducks swarming and buzzing like bees when they fly, though.

It looks so beautiful and fierce! (And by the way, your "Receding Hare Line" had me giggling all day... that's a keeper card!)
