Dirty Nose

This female Mallard had just come out from rummaging around in the bottom of a muddy pond and it looks as if she needs to do a little grooming!

I dunno...I've heard from reliable sources that a little mud on the beak really turns on male mallards! Cute pic!

Hello, sweet shot of the female Mallard. I guess ducks do not mind being muddy. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Wishing you a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

Great shot of this duck. Don't think they worry much about a little mud.

We have several kinds of ducks around the cabin. We also have red-throated loons. They are my favourite. - margy

There's the saying "Like water off a Duck's back". Maybe it's time for a new one "It sticks like Mud on a Duck's Bill"
