Although Mallards are common, their beauty cannot be overlooked! These took flight from Sandpiper Pond, April 7, 2021.
The upper right is a female. Note she lacks the green head and other bright colorings. The males also have a short black curl above the tail, thus the second from the bottom can be identified as a male even though the head is not visible.

Although there have been sightings of MOBL days earlier, this is Maureen's first photo in 2021. The males arrive first and this one was very busy going in and out of this particular box.

Some nestboxes need more attention than others, and we are so lucky to have amazing board members who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and help out. And what about that beautiful creature Maureen was able to capture during the clean-up too!
