Title: Ducksperts
Post by: boneaddict on November 30, 2017, 06:28:59 AM

Are these American Widgeon?    Young male, and a female?  Both female?    Know your target right? Well I was practicing catch and release....lol

I believe they are both females. The males normally have a all black bill.

Front = Hen  Rear is young drake. (Lighter Breast color)

 :yeah:

That would be my guess too.  The duck on the left has the drake markings on the tail, not full colored yet.

Thank you folks.   Not a breed I seem to see very often.

Shoot them both!
Gadwall is one of the few I still need for my collection.
