Default Metrosexual Mallard or no.

So I have shot more than my fair share of mallards but this one is unique. For those that are still waterfowing in November you will pick up right away as you are a diehard like me...

I thought I had a 2024 metrosexual mallard for awhile... The boys say this one didnt count as a greenhead I begged to differ...


Anyway did some research very rare but an extremely old hen will lose her estrogen and start to go green. It is called an estrogenic bird but is a Hen... I am still saying it was a greenhead haha If interested University of Californa Davis Museum of Wildlife did a study on one identical. Pretty cool anyway.

Just thougth I would share
