It's the time of year when we get a lot of migratory birds through Oklahoma. Today I saw three of these at a local lake. I've been trying to ID them without success. It may be a hybrid of some type or even a domestic duck given how totally unconcerned they were with my presence. Anybody recognize them?

Mallard/domestic duck crossbreed...as a fellow birder once mentioned, Mallards'll do anything that sits still too long :p

The curl in the tail makes you think mallard-domestic/mallard perhaps? Just a guess.

Looks like it's unanimous. Well I'm disappointed. I was hoping for some migratory species that we don't see here very often. Oh well. They were quite good looking anyway. At least I didn't ask about a buzzard duck :lol:

Yep domesticated duck. Some of the birders here call them Pilgrim ducks.
