Mottled Duck with Mallard Pair

Pinellas Park, Florida

This Mottled Duck stayed fairly close, but kept a watchful eye on me.
According to my Reader's Digest Book on North American Birds, "the mottled duck remains the least numerous duck in North America".
Best viewed in 'original' size.

Good shot Don. I don't think I've ever seen a Mottled Duck.
