What a fun day today! Picnic with my husband and a couple of neighbors at the Dallas White Rock Lake, my new kayak in the water! One more thing off my "bucket list", always wanted a kayak!
And the "brazilian empanadas" were an huge succes!
We saw a few different ducks, don't know what they are called, so blue...
Good night, everyone, tomorrow I'll look at all the pictures...right right I feel my arms are going to fall off!!!
Marilia.... Looks like a great Picnic, nice shots. Keep that camera dry. Kayaks turn over very easy...;0)
Your duck is a mutated mallard as far as I know, kinda rare too. I have a picture of one here in Reno, and another one that is similar, but female and blond in color, but she doesn't have the curly feathers near the tail like mallards do. Her mate in the picture behind her is of odd mutated color, but has the curly feathers near the tail but no fluffy feathers on his head. There are groups breeding Crested Domestic ducks, that I found online while searching, that look similar to my blond one. Still kind of a mystery...;0) So I'm not sure what she is for sure. There were several odd colored mallards swimming around the day I took the picture of the blond female.
