Buddym Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The two with their heads hidden. There was quite the mix of birds with these two. Can't figure out what they are. Sorry the best I have of them is attached. There was Ring-billed Ducks, Common and Hooded Mergansers, Wood Ducks, Mallards, American Black Ducks ad Common Goldeneyes in the same place. Is it one of these or something different? Can't figure out who they are. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'd say male Common Merganser on the left and male Ring-necked Duck on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm not so sure these two are water ducks. They appear to be sitting on land. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddym Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yep everything still ice. Northern Ontario. Just a channel of open water on a lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to claim only academic knowledge of this phenomenon, but three winters in the Upper Peninsula demonstrated that not only is it possible, sometimes it's the default.
