On a post several months ago I included a pic of a Mallard at Sheldon Lake, Fort Collins City Park, that according to an illustration in Sibley is a female displaying drake characteristics. If you go to the regular Mallard page in Sibley, then flip over to the previous page, he talks about hybrids and this macho female. I got better pics the other day and wanted to share them. They are somewhat like Mallard X Black males on the head but otherwise distinctive.
