Galen Frantz Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I photographed these ducks at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Reserve in Oregon on 04 MAY 2021. I suspect green-winged teal, but also suspect I am likely wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Those heads and bills don't appear to be the same shape. Is it just the angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducks of the same species can have different head shapes depending on what they're doing/feeling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
