I'm going to ask President Obama to consider labeling ducks for easier identification.
The case in point is that, last Friday at Shollenberger Park, I photographed these ducks, and now I'm not sure what they are. I believe the white one is a male Canvasback. What about his two (Mormon?) consorts? Female Canvasbacks are supposed to be grayish, not black. To make matters worse, I can't find any black ducks in my guide books.
But who really cares, they're sure pretty, aren't they? All of which proves that I'm a maverick (where have I heard this word before?) birder.
