Mottled Duck Picture Gallery
The Mottled Duck is
about twenty-two inches long and various shades of brown all over. A
yellow bill and orange legs and feet complement the bird's basic color
scheme. It eats a
variety of aquatic foods including grass, seeds and insects. The adult
mottled duck is equally at home in freshwater and saltwater marsh areas.
The Canon EOS Digital Rebel single lens reflex
(dSLR) camera was employed for most of the bird photos below. It was
equipped with a Sigma zoom lens 200-500 mm, sometimes with a 1.4 tele-extender.
