Jabird Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi again, Been looking for American Black Ducks whenever I see waterfowl to add to the life list. Do I have any here? Also the white duck, is it just a domestic? All seen in Hamilton Harbour area today, western end of Lake Ontario. Thanks!

psweet Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The white duck is indeed a domestic. The others appear to be at least part Mallard (domestic or Black Duck ancestors wouldn't be surprising) -- white in the tail and flank feathers with internal barring are Mallard traits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapshotbirder Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I can agree with Psweet, plus a lot of ducks are molting right now, which can make for some odd looking birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
