Hello folks,

Yes, I'm serious...
I thought there was something wrong with the camera or my eyesight was going bad. I have taken many pics of Mallard Ducks, during various angles of when the sun is shining, so it's not the irridessence of the feathers either. I was relieved to see a few online sites confirm that there are some Blue Headed Mallards out there!

DH took me for a ride and as we were passing on of the local parks, we saw a flock of about 20 of them near the roadside...VERY Cool!

1st, here are 2 links. Ths one is a link to a forum discussing the subject...
