Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For this weeks wild bird I am sharing two ducks, both with redheads. ..The Redhead duck actually named Redhead and the Canvasback duck.
My mosaic above shows the Redhead duck on the left (far left) and the Canvasback duck on the right..
The Redhead ducks above are a diving duck, they have the red head, black breast, grayish sides, a bluish bill with a black tip and has yellow eyes..The Redhead photo above was taken at Loch Raven Resevoir in Baltimore County, Maryland.
A closer look at the Canvasback with their redheads, red eyes, bright white sides and a black breast. The Canvasback ducks photos were taken a few weeks ago at Cambridge Maryland..
A variety of ducks includes the Canvasback, American Wigeon and Scaup.
I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post.. Till next week's wild bird post.. I wish you happy Birding and have a wonderful week!

Hi Eileen, Enjoyed the photos. Neat captures. Have a good day! John
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to really look forward to the return of the ducks but everything here is frozen so I think they'll be staying in your neck of the woods for a while yet.
ReplyDeleteI like the Redheads, they look like copper :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Eileen!
Have a fine day

There is such variety in duck species! I love the colours. I miss ducks!
ReplyDeleteI just can't keep 'em straight. I'll just call them...ducks.
ReplyDeleteAnother great series Eileen. Those ducks are really neat looking. Thanks for sharing them. Happy day to you :)
ReplyDeletethose redheads are pretty cool looking ducks!! those eyes though...WOW!! (sure they're not devil-ducks??)

ReplyDeleteThere is something inherently wonderful about a congregation of ducks!
ReplyDeleteThey are fine looking ducks!

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see so many ducks together.
ReplyDeletePerfect photographed, Eileen.
They are great looking, love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI always learn something new Eileen, when I visit your blog!! Have never seen red head ducks or the canvasback ducks with red eyes!!! Now those are very strange to look at with those red eyes!! That last shot is great with all different kind of ducks!!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many varieties of ducks...it's amazing! The Red Heads and Canvasbacks are both pretty. Great shots, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteWoW...those redheads really stand out!! great captures eileen!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways amazed at God's creation of such different colors that are repeated from generation to generation. The ducks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteDucks look happy. They indeed have beautiful heads. Take care, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteThose canvasbacks are interesting looking ducks. Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely ducks with creepy red eyes.
ReplyDeleteNice ducks ,Nette
ReplyDeleteVery informative, Eileen. These ducks don't come here often ... they pass through during migration and if I am in the right place at the right time, I might see one or two of them. Didn't realize there were two ducks with red heads ... now that I know, I will be looking to see which ones are visiting if only for a brief moment. Very nice post Eileen.
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
