It is a female wood duck, maybe with her babies. Same eye ring, same mallard similarity.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-2424613854485890902010-07-30T01:54:08.283-04:002010-07-30T01:54:08.283-04:00I'm up late, but I made sure I came over to co...I'm up late, but I made sure I came over to comment on this post of yours. I've missed everything else today so far. I think I can't take games as well as I give them. I see some dark shapes in the tree where the bird is but I don't think they are what I'm looking for. Maybe that's it a third of the way down and a third of the way from the left perched on a branch between the two big trees. As for the ducks at the bottom, I would have guessed American Black Duck, but that white around the eye threw me too. The only bird that looks like that that I could find would be a Laysan Duck, but that one would be very far away from home. It does look amazingly similar though.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-21823351458110139422010-07-29T23:24:47.168-04:002010-07-29T23:24:47.168-04:00J Bar- thanks.

I will leave your comment even with a link, since it is somewhat relevant to the content<br /><br />Carmen- You are in the right size range, but not the right location- sorry<br /><br />Auntie E- Yes, he is big! I hoped that would make him hard to find - not what people expect. I think they might be juvenile mallards... to small for adult females, but that strange eye ring and cheek patch has me guessing.<br /><br />rainfield- I like your answer, my friend. But the bird has returned to perch in the picture now.<br /><br />Theresa- You have good woods eyes... not that I doubted it! But you weren't thinking large enough. Well... juvenile wood ducks? I'll have to research that idea. They just didn't look like mallards.<br /><br />Ann- you coy person, you... saying you found it, but won't tell where.

One shape looks like it could be a ruffed grouse and the other looks like it could be a raven.<br /><br />In the third picture, the "masked" duck looks like a female wood duck.

I keep imagining I see a turkey or something like it on the ground toward the right front of the picture, just a little off center. It has a red wattle ( is that what you call it? ). Like I said, I'm probably hallucinating.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.com
