Well. This should be an easy one. The field mark I usually look for isn’t visible, but I was thrilled to finally see that bit of blue on the bill. That’s a first! Happy guessing.
Bad bird photo of the week

That be a ruddy duck.
And why do you think that’s a bad photo?
A Blue-Billed Top-Knot????
No huh? Ok, a ruddy duck is a deep-diving vegetarian!
Ruddy Duck! I have a decoy of one carved by my grandfather so I’ll recognized one of those anywhere! 🙂
That is NOT a bad bird photo.
Hey, that’s a great photo. I’ve never seen a Ruddy Duck, but that is surely recognizable as one. Nice blue bill.
Ooh! A White-cheeked Pintail… or maybe a Ruddy Duck. 🙂 It’s not so bad at all.
The Ruddy Duck is my fave of all ducks!
This reveals my level of bird expertise–it’s . . .a . . .duck.
That’s a nice one! -I think that’s a nice photo too! The few Ruddy Ducks I’ve seen were more drab but had their tail up.
My favorite! A darling Ruddy Duck!
Thank you.
I still don’t have a figure of one.
