ty so much this helps me along with your wonderful books for much easier identification of the many waterfowl moving through our area right now. We live on a lake in northern Indiana. Migration in full swing. Happy spring.
Apparently I know my duck butts.

Fun. My Gadwall needs work!

Ha! Yesterday I posted some pics from Sandy Hook, NJ with some Brants foraging…. Facebook : Gary Celeste
I never saw a Brant before, had to look it up when I came home, but they made a great cackling noise….
Oh, woefully out of practice!
Hi David,

I enjoy all your quizzes, great fun, even when I don’t get them all right.
