Title: Humber River Trail May 11

Rode to other section of the trail, and found this odd looking mallard. There was a male that's with her, and they bob head with each other.

Eastern Kingbird is back. And I'll have to say he found me. I left my bike by the river and went around taking photos. He was on the branch next to my bike when I went to retrieve it.

Not a mallard but a "bibbed" duck, domestic species/ farm duck, problem is when they get out they readily breed with wild populations and young have similar looks
