Domestic geese of a frozen Huron River.

That Canada geese had blue feathers on the undersides of their wings.

When this was taken, the adult males in the park were all molting into eclipse plumage.  In this group, no such sign of molting was apparent, so I believe they are all this year's "crop", none of which have yet taken on their first breeding plumage feathers.

Yellow bill...probably a young male.
arctangent > Who knew?
That mallard eyelids close from the bottom upward, rather than from the top downward.
arctangent > Resisting its bedtime.

Almost all the siblings of this mallard have already settled down for the night at the edge of this pond, while this one keeps running around.  Can mallards be hyperactive?
