That duck is just adorable! It looks like it noticed you too and decided to pose for the shot

Welcome back Patti - from a while ago - I've neglected this thread too for a little while, and thought I'd catch up again with Florida ducks since my last post near the end of last year...

Mottled duck flying by:


Flock of blue-winged teals coming in for a landing on a rainy day:


This one I'm actually not positive...I think it's an American black duck:


A blue-winged teal:


Black-bellied whistling ducks:


Rare visitor to my area...a ruddy duck:




Blue-winged teals are abundant down here now:


Another very rare pair for us down south...a northern shoveler female:


And male:


Another mottled duck flyover:

Great catches zack!!
That "Black" I believe is a hybrid,what we call a "Ballard" half black/half Mallard....see beak (Black) and tail curl (Mallard)

Got a few of the Harlequins this week plus a few Buffleheads in the harbor...

Wow KPR - you've got an awfully nice selection up there! I thought all the ducks left the north in the winter!! Seems your maritime climate is moderate enough to keep them around.

BTW, I think you're right on the black duck - I'm assuming a black/mallard hybrid, or a black/mottled hybrid. I posted an ID thread on him, and that seemed to also be the consensus.

Funny thing - we've been getting a lot of hybrids down here lately. This past weekend, I found this hybrid:





The male is a cinnamon/blue-winged teal hybrid. The cinnamons seem to mix most often with the blue-winged teals, which are more frequent down here anyway so it makes sense.

Awesome guys.... I'm missin' the waterfowl ... we are supposed to get up to +2 this weekend... hoping its the beginning of the end of winter for us... we usually start seeing ducks here again around mid march so I'm keeping my fingers crossed... just a few more weeks... hopefully!!!

Only issue I foresee this year is the run-off we will see from all the snow which will probably make access a bit more difficult than usual.
