My first ever duck, so treat it kindly, as you would your own. :) I've never seen one with a green bill before, perhaps some bird afficionado out there can help me out with this one. This lovely was found on Lake Winnipesaukee.

What a close-up this is!. I saw a green billed duck for the first time last Sunday and was just amazed. You've certainly captured its beauty.Looks great!

nice close up. if it weren't for the green bill, i would say you have a female mallard, but that throws things completely out of kilter. i just don't know about that green bill.

Love that green bill! I don't know why it's green, though. Maybe it was eating in the grasses a lot? Lovely duck shot, too.

MY PHOTOGRAFIC VISION...
I am not an artist, I only let you see with my eyes...!
A great first duck snap. Love the fact that you can see beneath the water to the bottom. It gives the snap more depth and a sense of place, you've captured an interesting moment and of course a very cooperative duck, lol.

The female American Black Duck has an olive green bill and looks very similar to your lovely duck.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
Very nice! I like the water pushing out in front of her, and the fact that you avoided any glare, allowing us to see her feet and the stones on the bottom. Well done!

For your first Duck PJ, this a great stuff !! the detail is brilliant. I think the duck is a female mallard but i stand to be corrected.

Not found in my area that I know of PJ! Like someone else said looks a lot like our female mallards but slightly different coloring & green bill. Excellent shot in any event! C):-)

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted View from one to another church.
Perhaps he's been a bit heavy into the algae.... :0) How wonderful to get such great responses to these kinds of posts. Now I have a website to get ID's on birds! Fabulous! I love your first green billed duck image PJ! ~Mary~

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, but the rainbows sure are nice!
Pretty little lady. The green is probably algae from feeding on the bottom. Good job.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

"Billy" Green is really "Billie Jean" Green :) This is a female mallard. It is different than the black duck in a few ways, but the main one I can see from this is the white tail, which the black duck does not have. Nice shot of this pretty little lady, PJ. Nice to see you breaking into birds :)

This is great. I'll accept any of the replies above as to what it is. You captured it well. Terrific clarity, I like the water motion captured and you can even see details under the water. Superb effort.

He's a darling, PJ and he and the water look so fine. I wouldn't mind a swim in there. It looks like such clean water.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Good capture PJ! I bet the bill is green cause of all the moss he sticks it in..lol.. :)

Goodness, another three pages of comments that I'll heap my duck ID on. Looks to me like you've got a drake mallard in molt there. Drakes will have green bills and hens will have orange bills.

All comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
Very cute capture PJ! At first I thought maybe its bill was green from dipping in algae, but upon closer inspection it really doesn't appear that way.

Haunting made me do it damnit.
Terrific shot PJ. Love the details and how you can see her leg in the water. I was going to say she had the colouring of a mallard but I've never seen a mallard with a green bill.

So sweet, love his or her yellow beak - not too good classifying bird. Really great clarity!
