smittyone@cox.net Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Pic was taken at extreme range, then heavily cropped. This was in a flooded farmer's field in western Missouri adjacent to the Missouri River yesterday afternoon. With a KIlldeer and (I think) Least Sandpiper for scale, I'm certain the large duck is a Mallard. Although I'm not certain it's not a domestic Mallard as it was absolutely huge--damn near goose-sized! What are the 3 "plain-looking" ducks behind it?

Kevin Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Blue-winged Teal. Also I would say that the Mallard is domesticated. Edited August 26, 2020 by Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
