I made it out for a little while with my girlfriend, Alma and my good friend, Alec today. I'm a sucker for anomalies and that's just what we found! This stunning drake is a perfect example of an American Black Duck x Mallard hybrid. Woohoo! It looks like the green paint got wet and started running down the duck's face. Just beautiful. We also saw a nice Horned Grebe in transition from molt to breeding plumage while we were at the Mid River Marina in Buffalo along the Niagara. Not a bad outing.
