Ducks by the Edinburg Mill

The creek that once powered the Edinburg Mill is home to a flock of ducks. People feed them, and in return, they allow us to watch them. Many of them are mallards, and some appear to be domestic ducks or hybrids.



The adult male is known for his iridescent green head, and the female is mottled brown yet pretty.



I love seeing them fly. The final shot looks a little awkward, but I was pleased to capture them in flight using my cell phone so I am including it.
