April, 2009.  Short Movie paulscustomcards_dot_com_ frances_s_duck_hybrid.mpg 2.69 meg small image format 14 second -short film of duck, plays well if not on dialup

No one has yet given me an identification for this multi-colored duck.  Web research showed me that there are a lot of hybrid ducks, and particularly Mallard hybrids.  These may be basically Mallard colors, but the form is not right, and he is way darker.   I am naming this Frances' Duck, in honor of my mother, Frances F Phillips, who loved all ducks.
