Here’s Eight Mallards (Anas platyrhychos), four pair, four male, four females. All were asleep with their heads down. Something made a noise and all the males popped up. Females weren’t bothered and kept sleeping! Who has their priorities right!

Happy as a Duck…
…in water! A flock of Mallards are probably the only ones that are enjoying the flooded streams in and around Fort Langley. After lots of snow, we are back to our usual wet Spring. New growth is obvious on the background trees.

A Common Goldeneye give me a stern look. I think this duck is anything but common, with his bright black and white markings and that striking gold eye!

A pair of Blue-Winged Teal were a bit shy of having their pictures taken!
If you look close you can see the abundance of insects on the water. No shortage of food this time of the year!

A drake Mallard found himself a quiet corner of the marsh to do his daily preening of the feathers. Being Spring his colours are bright and shiny to impress the girls!
