The standout

I thought maybe there was something wrong with the color in this picture as there had also been an unusual, mainly white, duck in the lake at Constitution Gardens, but I took another picture of this one while it was sleeping, and it was the same tan color.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

The color she has is beautiful. It may be part mallard. V

We’ve had one of these partially leucistic mallards in the local pond for the past two years. They sure stand out against their families. Very nice photo.

Wonderful light, color and detail in this photo. Interesting that it isn't really white. V.
