Description

Again, I must beg the more ornithologicaly cognizant amongst you for help in identifying this lovely bird. (Sorry for the pomposity: I was just in the mood to use a couple of long words)

Cool shot of this duck sitting on the grate. It almost looks as if he's on a barbeque grill, about to become someone's dinner :)

I must say, these images of ducks would make a nice series for a book to help individuals with the identificatoin process of these ducks when they go on thier walks.

Well I think it's a male Tufted Duck in it's summer plumage "athya fuligula", due to the lack of tuft at the back of it's head & the brown, rather than black & white plumage normally seen with the male in winter. If it isn't, then it is a female in its usual plumage!! It isn't a Scaup, I know that much! I hope that clears things up???
