ghowl 8 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Can anyone tell me what species of duck this fellow is please? I've never seen one like it before. In southern Alberta 22km south east of Cardston. Photo taken Oct 6/18. He was with a whole lot of American Coots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ghowl 8 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Yes, I see now, it's a female. Thank you. Do you know what this one is? Not a coot as it does not have a white beak. Sorry, not a great shot as the sun is behind it. Edited October 6, 2018 by ghowl add more content Quote Link to post Share on other sites
