Title: DUCKS
Post by: MEGHAN on October 30, 2009, 05:30:36 PM

Good Evening Everyone,
I have 3 ducks I would like an I.D for.
Thanks in advance
Meg

The first shot is a little blurred but it will give you some idea on the markings

This guy wouldn't wake up so not too many visable markings

Far from an expert, but the 1st and 4th look like wood ducks and the middle two I would guess as mallards.

I agree with Moira. The 1st Woody is a female, the last a young male. The Mallard is male.
