Those spectacular heads

I take a lot of pictures of mallards because I find the color of their heads just spectacular. In the next picture, it’ll be a totally different color, which I think is fascinating.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

I have often thought this about mallard ducks, Helen. In some lights their heads look like metallic! V
