mossyhorn Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 A white mallard hybrid. Â The photo was taken at dusk, at high ISO. Â Much more noise than I'd like, but it's the first one of these I've seen. Â Â Â 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper's Hawk could get out of this tree thanks to two crows standing guard.  I went on a birding outing last year and the person leading our group works for the Audubon Society (among others) and she used the term "sub-adult" instead of juvenile or immature. I forget the reasons why, but she explained it. I doubt it really matter much except to the most ardent (pedantic?) people. Great picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadcykler Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I believe this is a sub-adult Bald Eagle but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's behavior is just like the wild mallards that it is with.  It is not any larger in size like a domestic would be. I'm thinking that it could be a hybrid, but I'm not sure. It will be gone by summer as the small marsh will be mostly dry.  Many people hike and mountain bike right past it, and never notice it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
