Thanks to Gary Ritchison for posting two photos of a group of waterfowl in flight. The shots were taken by Rick Seelhorst over South Shore WMA, Greenup Co., 1 March 2008. The two shots are different images of portions of the same flying flock. I had Gary include two images because you can see some individuals better in one than the other. How many species of waterfowl can you ID in the two photos combined? I *think* I know what all the birds are, but I'm sure we'll have a bit of debate about the identity of a few individuals. Should be interesting :o) The images can be viewed at the following link: http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos/distant_ducks.htm Note that these images are relatively large in size and will take a couple of minutes to download if you are on dial-up; you can view a larger size of the images for better details in the ducks by clicking on the original images. At the larger size, only a few birds will be visible at any one time, but you can curse left and right and up and down to view the birds in detail. BPB
