Dan P Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Taken 12-25-2020 in the afternoon on the Los Angeles River at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Van Nuys, CA. I don't know what this duck is. For size comparison, the last photo includes an American Coot and the two Green-winged Teals (foreground) that were identified earlier.

Aidan B Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I think that it is another Gadwall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ha! I was afraid you were going to say that. My second Gadwall -- assuming it holds up. I suppose this is a male and the other a female. But its plumage looks so different from any of the Gadwall photos I've looked at. Thanks.

Dan P Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 OK, thanks MIchael and Aidan. It really looks a lot different than that other other one from yesterday. But I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
