This cream-colored Mallard has been at Stewart Park off and on for several years. I don't recall seeing it on careful counts of Mallards this winter, so I wonder if it has migrated and returned here. I first recall seeing it during summer 2008 (I think), when all the shorebirds were on the algae mats.

They make an attractive couple!
