My neighbors decided to go for a little excursion down the creek yesterday.

Boss drake was off with the hen somewhere.

The early bloom of spring gave me just enough cover.

Had they discovered me they would have been gone in an instant.

Truly wild mallard drakes....

It never ceases to amaze me how so many birds defy the general camo markings of most wild critters. Many birds including these male mallards seem to go out of there way to be just as conspicuous in color as thay can be. Seems really strange when you consider that Mother Nature has made just about every other wild thing blend in almost perfectly. It looks like when it came to birds and insects, Mother Nature had a change in design philosophy.
