p.1 #1 · Bird ID please and a few firsts for me

Took two walks today down by the bay. I cannot even get close to most of these birds because I have to view them from a dock. Never the less I am always excited to see who is migrating in my bay this time of year. I was so happy to be able to see so many new and unusual birds today.

All of these birds are firsts for me today

The first set I call Blondie mallard. It is a very creamy yellow female. Does anyone know if she could be a leucistic

The next cutie bird needs an ID please

Chad helped me ID the next three

6. Long Tailed Duck

Okey, dokey.... that one up there is them farm ducks. They taste good.
Then there is them old tail ducks. I never ate those so no comment.
Lastly, you got youself a very nice pair of Vergasers. They tase fishy those ducks.
Now you take care.

PS......the little Buffalo hen is really well done......seriously.....I mean it.

Noelle,
#4, #5 & #6 are Long-tailed Ducks (aka Oldsquaw hence PetKal's "old tail" ID).
Very nice set. I like the RB Mergansers the best.
Take care,
John

PetKal, your remarks are downright idiotic.

A very funny comment especially when made by someone with the ID of "Rat Salad".

Good shots, the Merganser's are cool, they look neat in flight with their long stretched necks and smoothed crown.

Thanks John, I knew that #6 was a LT duck but had no idea the little brown one was the female. I feel so lucky to have them in my bay

Lots of nice shots, but my fav is the Long Tail. I don't think I'll ever see one in my area (Nor Cal / Bay area ?)

Peace,
Fish
