Hi all -
-- The male Mexican Duck swam close to a female Mallard the whole time I was there; possible pair? Again, I believe this to be a pure Mexican Duck. The tail shows no signs of Mallard hybridization. However, it seeems Mexican Duck X Mallard hybrids are much more common in CO than pure Mexican, so if someone disagrees with the pure Mexican Duck ID I am open to that feedback. Appears to be first Arapahoe county ebird record! Here is the photo I promised:
