Ducky, not yellow rubber

Lovely dark grey ducks are around a lot these days...they are American Coots, (Mud Hens.)
Female Mallard taking a break to eat, from the wild mating frenzy that's already started




I thought these guys were an aberation the first time I saw them, or maybe I just keep seeing the same fuzzy hatted duck over and over again! 



So of course I kept taking pictures



Apparently he liked me, 'cause he followed me around


Tufted duck is his title apparently.


One of these Mallard males will get lucky probably
The little island seems to have been claimed by this Canada Goose.  See more Goose pictures Here.
