Title: ID Ducks in Flight
Post by: Walter Sobchak on October 28, 2006, 10:00:43 PM

Can any tell me what kind of ducks these are?  There are 4 in various stages of flight.  I surprised them at Mountsberg Lake and only had time for a quick shot before I could get a good look.

There's not a really good view of any of them, but I'd guess Gadwalls.  The light part of the wings looks bluish in the photo, but I'm guessing it is actually white.  The rest of what I can see is consistent with a Gadwall.
