Three broods, one of 11, one of 9, and one of 3, all in Congress Park in Saratoga Springs. I was wondering where all the female ducks had went…

The oddball duckling was with what looked like a pure female Mallard, and all the other ducklings looked like normal Mallards. Was some egg dumping going on?

    those are nice images-very sharp and colorful.-I once became confused about female Mallards thinking they might be female Blue-winged Teal.
