Female mallard duck in water in Stayton Oregon

We have another guest photographer today! Joan London brings us this duck, which I think is a female mallard. I like ducks. Her description:

The Wetlands behind Sylvan Springs homes (off Fern Ridge Rd.) I go for a one mile walk along the trail, have seen many birds and Nutrias. Frogs too.

I am going to have to start paying more attention to that area. Thanks, Joan!
