This afternoon I watched a mallard mama with about 7 ducklings, 2 of which were dark brown head to toe, none of the usual yellow facial markings/facial stripes. No markings at all. Same size and shape as the others, same behavior. Is this something that's normal and I've simply missed it in the past? They were in the wetlands pond just east of the road that goes N & S through the park. Thanks!
