Behold the male mallard exploding into flight! Beautiful day on the Rio Grande north of Pilar today, with tons o’ ducks (mergansers, goldeneyes, mallards). We also saw Canada geese and a heron. The river is where the action is, all right. And to think that just 800 feet higher and out of the gorge, you’re back in rolling sagebrush country. The rio always blows our minds.
Mallard Bloom
Had no idea there were so many colors from the back
