A mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) spotted at Long Run Park in Eastern Jefferson County. According to the Wikipedia entry on Mallards, they "live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are social animals preferring to congregate in groups or flocks of varying sizes. This species is the main ancestor of most breeds of domesticated ducks." Comments | Permalink
