Jodi Nielson Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I was up at the lake today, at Basil Griffin Park in Bowling Green KY and while walking the shoreline, flushed these two. Are they Gadwalls? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I think so! I think the black edges rules out Hooded Merganser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodi Nielson Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 @Avery There were 2 Hooded Mergansers there also, but their wing pattern was totally different. It's a goofy shot, but it's the best one of the wing pattern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Agree with Gadwall (the longitudinal white wing patch is distinctive). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
