Mallards , photos taken with 300 mm lens with 1.4 X teleconverter.
The drake, males, have iridescent feathers on the head and neck that go from Green to purplish depending on the angle of the light and feathers. They are a common bird, but really beautiful. They also make one the best practice birds because they are not afraid of you, and can really be challenging and fun to take picture of. I spent a good hour with group..
