duck hybrid

[bigv]

To piggyback on the migration thread....I snuck out last night and had a quick mallard shoot right at dark. Got this hen mallard/pintail hybrid. Confirmed by biologist. Have only seen a few. Anyone else get something like this?

That’s awesome. I have not ever shot a hybrid seen some really cool ones

this summer by my dock in dvl we had a drake mallard with what looked like a widgeon head, never did get a picture of it.

ermagerd - interspecies sex?

Mallard drakes will hump anything with a pulse. Shot a beautiful hybrid pintail x mallard in 2013. Dropped it off at Roughrider Gamebirds. We all know how that story ends

The photos aren't very good but this is a drake pintail-mallard we shot a few weeks ago in Logan County.

Even ducks can be perverts...

Listened to an interesting Meateater podcast the other day, talking about some duck species crossing genetics and more. I will need to listen to it again a little closer as I was listening while busy doing other things.
