So I know the ducks are mallards and the canadian geese, but these 4 swam up and I was curious. There were 4. 3 the same breed, 1 maybe different. They were at the DeSabla reservoir in Desabla(up outside of paradise and magalia, California). There were houses along the resivior, but they could have been dumped.. who knows. I know I probably shouldn't be feeding them, but I brought the lettuce down that I picked off my sandwich and the little duck family was right there munching down! At least I wasn't throwing bread..

ETA: actually its a PG&E owned reservior and its PG&E cabins that run along the backside. So they probably were dumped. I walked up to the edge to look out and ever goose, duck and duckling in there started swimming our way. Obviously used to people that 'feed the ducks'.

Ive definitely seen pictures on this forum that resemble those geese, but I can't remember what breed they were. Good job on feeding the lettuce instead of bread

The dark one is probably a domestic greylag geese. The other lighter three are probably greylag geese too but are a color variant or hybrid.
