Rarity this week
« on: May 23, 2011, 09:21:50 PM »
 A black mallard hen. These are not cross-breeds, this is a true genetically pure strain of mallard, similar to an albino of any species.

Very cool find and great picture.  There is black drake that lives at Klinline pond here in Vancouver.  I dont know if it is a true melanistic because it still had a green head.
