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
I'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.
I like the Redheads, they look like copper :)
Beautiful pictures Eileen!
Have a fine day

There is such variety in duck species! I love the colours. I miss ducks!
I just can't keep 'em straight. I'll just call them...ducks.
Another great series Eileen. Those ducks are really neat looking. Thanks for sharing them. Happy day to you :)
those redheads are pretty cool looking ducks!! those eyes though...WOW!! (sure they're not devil-ducks??)
great shots!!
I like those redheads!
There is something inherently wonderful about a congregation of ducks!
They are fine looking ducks!
Beautiful shots! Such striking birds with their red heads.
i'd love to see either of these in person, but especially the redhead. my favorite carved wooden duck is a redhead.
They sure are handsome! Enjoy your week! Sweet hugs, Diane
The canvas backs are such a striking bird! Love the close ups. Wendy
How wonderful to see so many ducks together.
Perfect photographed, Eileen.
They are great looking, love the colors.
I 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!!
There are so many varieties of ducks...it's amazing! The Red Heads and Canvasbacks are both pretty. Great shots, Eileen.
WoW...those redheads really stand out!! great captures eileen!!!!
Always amazed at God's creation of such different colors that are repeated from generation to generation. The ducks are lovely.
Ducks look happy. They indeed have beautiful heads. Take care, Eileen!
Those canvasbacks are interesting looking ducks. Nice photos!
Lovely ducks with creepy red eyes.
Nice ducks ,Nette
Very 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.

Hi Eileen, If I did not like the Buffleheads as much as I do, Cans would be next in line for the title of favorite. Gorgeous! Great shots of both the Red-heads and the Canvasbacks. Beautiful! Have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow!

Dearest Eileen; Wonderful photographs of ducks with your explanation♪ I was impressed by the different colors of their eyes as well, my friend. Red, yellow and black; yesterday I spotted many ducks in the muddy rice paddy and pics are for next weeks link.
Not for sure about the identification, haha.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
I don't think I've ever seen a redhead duck around here, but for some reason I think I'd like them...lovely shots!
What a great collection. They're all fun to watch.
They do look like our Pochards here in the UK. Good looking ducks.
I love these beautiful creatures an the water ! Greetings !
Wonderful Redheads and Canvasback shots! I have not seen either of these species this year!
Haha, this is why RED Heads ROCK!!!
