    Diving ducks are so difficult to get pictures of because every time I finally get the camera focused, it dives underwater and comes up quite a distance away from where it went under. Great job capturing them diving!

      You have to get lucky and catch them on a day when they're just hanging out lol

    Great video! I like to see that some of our migrants have made it back to the breading grounds safely, after enjoying their vacation down here in Panama. We are sending more of them back your way everyday, fat and happy. More warblers and tanagers are on the way.

    We get many Canada geese here in my area in Texas. We have a huge lake not far from my home and next week I'm going out to the lake and hopefully find a bunch of different ducks myself. Really enjoyed the video Ryan!
    These are some beauties you found for sure!!

    Wish the ring-necked duck could have made it further in the Duck Bracket, they look pretty spiffy.

    At San Antonio zoo I saw mallards a ruddy duck an Egyptian goose and redheads as well as hooded mergansers and northern shovelers and a new lifer black-bellied whistling duck. Those were the ducks just hanging with the other exotic ducks and swans

    • @BadgerlandBirding
      @BadgerlandBirding  2 роки тому +1

      Sometimes it seems like the tame exotic ducks attract wild species

  • @sampp44

    Only "waterbirds" in my town are mallard, common goldeneye and the common merganser + some whooper swans. Im so jealous of the snow/ice amount over there, just this week it has rained 20cm of snow.

    Great video - I look forward to going out in a couple of months (March 2023). Just one question - what is the unusual looking duck in the last frame of the video during the wrap-up. Looks “Mallard-like”, especially with the curled tail feathers, but the colouring is atypical with that white neck?

    • @BadgerlandBirding
      @BadgerlandBirding  Рік тому

      That’s a domestic Mallard color variation. I believe they are called Duclairs

    Those looked like greater scaup to me. I didn't see no head-bump. Maybe I missed it.
