Miss Marge Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I know this is a very poor picture, but all your expert eyes may be able to ID this Duck. It was in the middle of a pond at the Bird Studies Canada Headquarters near Long Point Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Looks like an eclipse male Mallard to me based on the shape and greenish bill. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 3 hours ago, Seanbirds said: Why not Black Duck? This is a good question. Certainly one of the two, Mallard or Black Duck. Not sure there’s enough here to be totally sure However, I think the harsh lighting is making the body look darker than it really is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marge Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just in case this makes a difference, I've attached one final picture my friend took. He was right in the middle of a far of pond so we may not get a definitive answer but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
