The color of his feet and size have nothing to do with where he came from. It's a nice, mature greenhead. Congrats.
if they're big mallards, they've probably been here all summer. Northerns show up skinny and won't fill out for a couple of weeks after they arrive.bright orange feet are nothing more than a hormonal change.
just curious, how do you know he's a "northern"?
