Robert Nelson 10 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 A few ducks are starting to show up here (except for Mallards, they're always here).

Frugalbirders 2 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 First thought was Fulvous Whistling-Duck with that long, stretched neck, but no plumage has that side pattern. Looks to me like female Northern Pintail. The one stretching gives a distorted body shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Nelson 10 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thank you, Frugalbirders! This refuge is know for its Northern Pintails. I didn't have a shot of a female, and it was a little earlier than I expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
