JackieL Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 This is a section of a photo I took in Stony Brook NY about 1 week ago. I was photographing some Cormorants and mallards swimming around a large pond. Later when I was going through the pictures I spotted these guys in the background, it's not the clearest I know, I'm referring specifically to the 3 on the shoreline. Any thoughts?

JackieL Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 thanks to you both, that's what I had first thought but the bills just looked so heavy to me, probably just the poor photo quality. thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Domestic Mallards do tend to have slightly heavier bills (and heavier builds) than the wild ones. Edited June 24, 2018 by The Bird Nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
