Snowy Mallard (Willow Creek Taxidermy)

[WCTaxidermy]

I thought I would share a picture with everyone of a "Snowy Mallard" I just got mounted up.  I have only had 3 of these come through my shop over the years.  The tops of the Primary wing feathers and middle covert feathers have a lot more white pigmentation to them as a regular plumed out mallard.  Some are a lot more white than this one.  This particular bird was really shot up bad but since you don't see them very often I had to go for it.  I posted a regular plumed mallard I just did as well for comparison.  Enjoy the pic's.......John

Not trying to thread jack, but since were on the topic of odd mallards...  I shot one this last season taht has almost a pure blue tint on the head.  Is that a rare thing as well?

Thats really cool looking.  Really makes the Green and Blue stand out a little more.

Hey John were you having flashbacks of mounting my bird while you were piecing that one back together?

What a beautiful bird! Nice job John! love the wing color and the shadowing affect on the tips. I don't beleive that I have ever mounted a snowy mallard.
