That looks like a mallard to me.Jack Douglas said:My story likely won't have a happy ending. Out in the slew this guy had not a hint of parents around. The most likely are Mallard or Blue-winged teal - anyone recognize what it is?

This is a very nice picture Mike (I overlooked it when I went through this thread earlier).Mikehit said:At one of the local parks we had swan nesting in full view of the visitors, and soon after they hatched I was able to capture this little one sleeping on its mother's back

I was out by our local pond on the same day and had an ambition to shoot pretty much the same image
Maybe she has grow to like that kind of relationship... Her first husband was killed ... they are normally monogamous ... she found a new male last ... This year she is courted by No.3 ...
I guess it also depends on if she gets to meet a single Male or not. Maybe the monogamous bit is not always by choice (in Swans).........Maximilian said:Hi Eldar and Mike!Eldar said:This is a very nice picture Mike (I overlooked it when I went through this thread earlier).Mikehit said:At one of the local parks we had swan nesting in full view of the visitors, and soon after they hatched I was able to capture this little one sleeping on its mother's back

Both pictures are really nice. Congrats.

But really interesting story. Thank you for sharing.
I've heard about swans dying lonely after the partners death as well as finding a new partner. But for the second case I thought It would again be monogamous. Really interesting. Thank you.
