ABC Wednesday, Wild Bird Wednesday, and My Corner of the World
I is for Iridescent - showing luminous colors that seem to change when seen from different angles

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, February 2, 2019
The male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos, has iridescent green feathers on its head.

The female Mallard Duck has a beautiful color pattern, but no iridescent feathers on her head.

Have a wonderful day!

    Mallard is an underrated species due to its familiarity. Were it a rarity people would be raving about its beauty.

    I always thing the male's green colored head is so, so beautiful, but the female is so beautiful, too, when you really look at her.
