Title: Confused again, please help the brain dead
Post by: What was that? on October 07, 2009, 05:11:08 PM

From Humber Bay (07 Oct 09)
1. Brown ducks look alike to me. Mallard? Am Black? other?

2. I think I have narrowed this down to teal or widgeon - am I getting warmer?

3. I noticed some of these had green bits, therefore my brain points towards green winged teal, all of them or just some?
