I was in Beach Haven, NJ this past June for a friend's wedding. As part of the festivities we went to the rehearsal dinner, which was hosted by another one of their friends with a canal-front home. There were two different families of mallard ducks swimming close to the dock- looking for a free meal. I noticed that one of the female mallards (or "hens") had an unusual amount of white on her neck and wing. Does anyone have any idea what type of mallard hybrid this might be?

I did a search on that just now and came up with this piece.

It is an excursion into the whole array of amorous messes the mallard/teal world gets into.
By the way I got some great video of Egrets at the new Audubon Sanctuary in Rowley along the Great Marsh.
