  14. My duck ID skills are lacking unfortunately Bob! Have you tried some of the ID sites like iSpot? I've used it a couple of times to help identify some stone flies I found along a river. May be useful - but other than that, gorgeous shots, as always. Love the expression on the duck's face. - Tasha

    1. I think that it was a female, the people who write about them, never show the female, bad pratice.

  26. Coming late so f you hadn't been so honest, I would have thought you'd known all along. But I had to smile at your disclaimer , because that lovely lady has helped me and I am sure many others. It's an honor and a help to me as a perennial amateur to know you and Margaret and all the other birders/photographers who have so much knowledge and talent.
