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
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
Beauties Noelle, I like the loon and the first duck, we have had several blonde females at out lake there was very little brown in one of them. good job on these

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
