 This was more of a "record" shot of an unusual duck than an quality image. This bird appears to be cross between a Ring-necked and a Scaup. The windy conditions and choppy water are not normally conducive to good shooting. I waited until the crest of the wave for this shot. Local bird ID expert Kevin McLaughlin had this to say about the bird: Hi Ken. I am not sure what this thing is. The head shape is intermediate between scaup and RN. The bill seems quite massive as in G Scaup. Might be a GS X RN hybrid. Hard to judge the flank/upperpart pattern. Much vermiculation on the flanks which seems more than scaup sp..Not sure about the back i.e. if it is dark enough for a hybrid. Brown neck ring points towards RN and thus suggest a hybrid of some kind....Kevin. 10D 500 x1.4 1/640 sec, f/6.3 Metering: Evaluative ISO: 200 AF mode: AI Servo AF Flash: Off |
