Hybrid Mallard x Northern Pintail (Anas platyrhynchos x A. acuta), Page Springs Fish Hatchery, Yavapai CountyThis Mallard x Northern Pintail Hybrid was
found and photographed by Gary Botello on 06 March 2016 Rare, but somewhat regularly reported hybrid
combination. Overall, this individual appears
more like a Mallard, but the bill pattern (blue with a
black center) is more like a Northern Pintail, and the
elongated central tail feathers also indicate pintail
parentage. 06 March 2016, photo by Gary Botello All photos are copyrighted© by photographer |
