FW: What is this?I haven't seen any debate so far and I'm dying to know what
everyone thinks are in the photos so I'll start out with an educated guess.
First the easy ones...Mallard, Pintail, Black duck. Now the rest that I'm not
so sure of... American widgeon (1), Green w-teal (1), Blue w-teal (2),
Greater Scaup (1). Total 7 species.

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:

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.
