Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)

Since mallards are one of the most visible birds out there I have decided to make this post about mallards in flight. I am sure there will be other posts featuring them sleeping or just generally being ducky, but for now here they are in flight. Some of the pictures are better than others, but they are all more interesting than the usual duck on the water pictures. These pictures were all taken on the afternoon of May31st, somewhere around Green Lake in Seattle, Washington. You can read more about mallards here, and more about the mallard video game, Duck Hunt, here.
