Driving around Lake Harriet this afternoon, saw a strange looking mallard (at least I think it was a mallard) on the SW corner. It was very dark brown, possibly black throughout its body and head. But it had a striking white ring around its neck 1-1.5" wide. Unfortunately I did not have a camera with me.
Is this an aberrant plumage, hybrid, or some sort of domestic? It was mixed with other mallards, coots, one Amer. wigeon, and one ring-necked. Body shape and size matching that of the mallards. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Seth Hayden Ramsey County ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
