Just Let me Molt in Peace

I thought some of you might like to see this molting drake trying to stay hidden at Tunxis Pond. They cannot fly while they are molting, so it is best to stay hidden from predators. (Maybe he is just embarrassed about his hairdo!)

Great find! Had not seen one in that stage. Thanks for sharing it.

great find, I love the Mallards, they are so pretty, hope he stays hidden until he can fly again.
