Nice duck, beautiful and colorful feathers. I am safe, I don't eat meat. I don't mind having vegetableloaf. Anyway, happy Thanksgiving, American friends!!!

Although Thanksgiving Day like you have tomorrow in the USA is un unknown phenomenon in my country, I like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Jimbob. Hope that the recently by Sherree (Danika) depicted turkey will survive. A good alternative is to consume duck meat, lol. Enjoy your meal, my friend.

Thanks for this fine post.

Regards, Cornelius.

I went to a friend's for Thanksgiving one year and we were served a Turduckin! It was all de-boned but was a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey! Your cute lil' duck seems to be pouting and very concerned about the upcoming event! Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry Jim but I hate turkey, and since our family is going out, I'm planning on duck but not a cute mallard like this one!

Superb image Jim! The details and colors of his feathers were captured wonderfully. Mallards may be common, but their colors are so lovely. I love that striking purple along with the black and white! :)

I prefer turkey ... tried duck once & never again. This Mallard looks at peace ... no worries about Thanksgiving dinner. Beautiful capture, Jim ... the detail is wonderful.

I've eaten rotisserie Duck...Yummy!!!! This one is too pretty to eat. Looks better right where he is. Besides, our Turkey is in the oven...LOL. Another great shot, Jim. Happy Thanksgiving! This year I've added my Caedes friends to my list of thanks.

Wonderful capture of this mallard. It looks like it is trying to be a male mallard, but it isn't quite there yet. They must molt brown feathers for green ones. I like the light shining on him with his blue feathers showing too. No, I didn't eat duck and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Jim.
