Duck ID
« on: November 28, 2012, 10:06:42 AM »
Ok, everyone knows what a fully plummed drake mallard looks like but what about the dozens of other species of ducks that are around us while hunting.  Please post up some close up pictures of ducks and explain what kind they are and maybe some identifying marks. 

From left to right, here is a redhead drake, 2 ringneck drakes, a drake wigeon and 2 drake mallards

Your right on Bone.  Nice shot with him in the process of swallowing the fish!  Based on the color you must have taken that picture in the winter months?  What is the Cinnamon colored bird next to him?
