njones Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Male American Wigeon swimming on pond in Norwalk, CT, Oct 19, late afternoon. I'm trying to ID the other ducks in the photo. I think 2 (in water) are female American Wigeons. Not sure about the duck standing on a mudflat. Any thoughts? In this pond, on this day and the day after, have also seen a Wood Duck (one individual, eclipse); Mallards, Gadwalls, and a male Eurasian Wigeon. Many thanks!

The Bird Nuts Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The two in the water are male Gadwall and the other is a female Mallard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The white tail is a particularly good clue on the back bird, particularly when combined with size and shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
