These duck photos are from my archives. They were all photographed at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Delta, BC.
I love watching birds but I seldom get to see any variety.
I have to travel a distance before I have any photo opportunities to capture birds other than pigeons, crows, seagulls and sparrows.
I guess that is true of anyone who is a city dweller and would like to photograph birds.
I think the detail on the feathers of these ducks is so beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by.
Wonderful photos of the mallard ducks. They are a good looking bird. Thank you for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the green colour on the ducks. Its a shame you don't have many birds near you.
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos Penny well done. Take care, hope you are feeling better. Diane
ReplyDeleteMallards are the quintessential duck of city parks, but Vancouver is blessed with a multitude of locations where many other species can be observed.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Penny.I love the beautiful green of the male ducks' head.
ReplyDeleteHello Penny, these are all lovely captures of the Mallards. They are handsome ducks. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese photos make me want spring to come fast!! Lovely reflections!
ReplyDeleteLove the details. If one has to settle for only a few ducks, I say that Mallards are always good ones - so colorful and the details in their feathers are amazing. There is a pair of Mallards that wanders about our neighborhood - they muck about in the water running beside the edges of the woods across the street and I love to stop and get photos often - they are used to the cars and don't run away - I have many, many photos - never can pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me now. How long has the Penny been up in your header? We have the odd mallard where the river remains open in the winter. They are tough birds.
ReplyDeleteThis is a header I made about 2 years ago. I use it when Winter rolls around.
DeleteHi Penny, how great to see you on this meme. And what beautiful images of the ducks. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteI like mallards!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - we don't have many ducks where I live.
ReplyDeleteThey're splendid! I went out to the ditch and all the ducks there were snoozing! Beautiful photos, Penny, nice close-ups! Feeling better, I hope.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the mallards!
ReplyDeleteI love mallards! Last spring a couple of them started a family on our community lake and now we have a dozen of them!
ReplyDeleteCute quackers!
ReplyDeleteA delightful series of captures Penny. Thank you for dropping by my blog and for your generous comments. You live in a wonderful part of our world - I shall be passing through Vancouver en route to Vancouver Island in summer for a 3 month house-sit and looking forward to it immensely (it will be my 4th trip to the island - it has totally captured my heart!). Keep "shooting" and sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are cute!! Its special you took a trip to see them, looks so peaceful and you got great up close views. Yes, the feathers and colors are so pretty. I never really get a chance to see ducks that close. We do have herons though in our city, and I love watching them. Thank you for sharing!! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the Mallard is a beautiful duck :)
ReplyDeleteI like Mallards and they mate for life. They are wonderful birds.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are so well done.
