Birders,
Early this morning I found not one but two intersexual Mallards at SE
Hillman Marsh. A Intersexual Mallard is usually a female bird with some
degree of male plumage and maybe told apart from hybrids by the female
Mallard bill. Just picture in your head a male or near male plumaged bird
with a orange a black bill.
These birds are being passed up as Hybrids and in my opinion they should
be documented.
There is a photo of such a bird taken by Ethan Meleg on the ofo website
under" photo's " near the bottom of the page which is the extreme amount of
male plumage.
Please email me with sightings, photo's or Questions.
Good Birding,
Dean Ware
