Close encounter

This female mallard and her mate (just out of frame) were hanging out along the path, about 4 feet from me. I believe that she is watching me intently but was still rather calm. I did keep my distance to their comfort level but felt gifted to capture such a close shot.
Isn't she a beauty, such lovely feathers.

Always lovely to be accepted by wild animals.

Good shot- sounds like you may have been close but not too close to their nest.

@onewing @pusspup @joansmor @marlboromaam @olivetreeann @frantackaberry @joemuli @jgpittenger It was interesting to see them so close but they may have a nest near by. I believe that eggs are laid starting mid-March or so. She wasn't moving at all so I guess I wasn't close enough to really bother her too much. I will check back now and then to see if there are any ducklings.
