1. | Reviewed by Randall Morgan Nov 23, 2012 |
| Action: commented on photo |
| Reviewer's comments: | | | "Of the great many color variants of domestic mallard this one is new in my experience, with the bold face stripes. Maybe it hasnt reached our shores yet. It would be interesting to assemble a collection of these forms and work out the genetics, before the unusual ones die out. Such interesting mutations are disappearing in our area due to some bureaucrat's notion that such things are politically incorrect on public ponds." |
