20110218 - 2 522 Leucistic Mallard HP.jpg

AIRBORNE

This leucistic female Mallard was found initially in an open area of water below some Falls on the Rideau River. It was one of a large group of Mallards and Blacks. In this image I caught it jumping up an embankment to join a group of feeding Mallards. For a more complete description and comparison photo, see yesterdays posting at http://www.pbase.com/image/132670018 .

YOu did well to catch her as she jumped onto shore. She is a lovely cream colour, almost cafe au lait!
