We were enjoying watching our mallard duck of the day (We call them all "Mel"), and we noticed his lady friend is different than the usual mottled and mallards we see every day.
The new duck is a Gadwall.... she's very pretty!
I didn't bother to try to shoot a picture, but here's a Gallard.

I hope we see more of these delicately colored ducks!
