[cobirds] white-breasted mallard drake

There were more gold panners than birds along Clear Creek today out west of I-70 in Wheat Ridge.  Did find this white-breasted mallard drake.  Seemed to have a mate, but the other drakes were picking on him.  A few other green winged teal and gadwalls in the creek.  A few golden-eye, buffle-heads and hooded mergansers in the adjacent gravel pit lakes.  Another birder said he'd seen a golden eagle fly over, but I missed it.  The resident kingfisher was rattling around.  You can see the white-breasted mallard at http://birdsbybill.blogspot.com/
