Bath time!

This ruddy duck preens before heading out to look for a date. The bright blue beak is part of his breeding plumage. Look out, gals!

  3. With that much preening, bound to be a Lady "DUCK" and she is bound to be late, - a Drake wouldn't be - To quote Henry Higgins, "Why can't a Woman be more like a Man"! LOL

  8. The color in the bill is most striking. Like most species, the males win when it comes to appearances! Um, that didn't come out the way it was intended!

  9. The blue bill is very attractive. Luckily with the more camo'd feathers, females probably can avoid predators easier than males!
