Just a Mallard, Not
This mallard was having a Sunday morning bath, but not just any old type of bath. I mean a diving, swimming underwater, coming up and shaking off and diving again kind of bath! I had never seen a mallard do that. I've seen mergansers, loons and other diving type birds do this but not a mallard. But whose to say he shouldn't enjoy his Sunday morning bath. I was enjoying my Sunday morning walk in the park and watching him.

Hi Cindy. This is not such unusual behaviour ... just part of its full brush up and preening programme.
I love it when they emerge from underwater and have a good shake!
Cindy-Did you ever upload and ID the birds we saw at Breezy a few weeks ago? The possible scaup and the shorebirds at the ocean that were too big for peeps?
Andrea, I will get to those next week. I have looked at them. The small one may be a dunlan so I'm not sure about the others.
Thanks Frank, he does look all spick and span...LOL
