I know the quality, etc. is crap so that's why I put it under, "Just For Fun", but here's a few shots of what looks like a purple grackle messing with a mallard duck. My first time seeing this.

Nice catch. I wonder what the mallard did to the poor grackle?
 
Interesting but not up to your normal high standards....;)
 
I might be wrong but I don't think that's a Mallard. Teal (Possibly blue winged). What do you reckon?

Good question, bird politics perhaps, we'll never know.

Thanks and agreed.

Animals confuse me. Now that I researched teals it looks like it is one, an eclipse drake it appears. (I could still be wrong, I give up) Take a look at the link and tell me what you think.

Yeah, it looks along that lines.
 
Never seen a blue winged teal so that’s cool. And I’ve never seen any duck getharassed like that.
 
They don't look like Mallards to me. You might want to stick to shooting Herons... just kidding!
 
Thanks a lot, oh great, mighty "Sausage Finger King." I am your loyal subject and true follow and will bend the knee for thee. :biglaugh:
