The 'First Lady'
 

The hen Mallard is certainly overshadowed by her male counterpart but isn't she gorgeous in her own way?

Outstanding Pictures, Thank You for sharing

Thanks so much for the kind words bgizzle, Chip, jdog, rainy day and redbone and so glad you enjoyed the pictures. I was thrilled to get a few good shots of waterfowl this year in order to share with others. Hopefully next year will present more opportunities. I use a Nikon D800 with a 400 mm lens for the waterfowl pics.

I have enjoyed your pics all season. Thanks for sharing

Nice pic...... It's so easy to over look the beauty of a hen until you take the time really look at it in this pic.

Another great pic, thanks for sharing.
