While looking at shorebirds on Friday, I came across a bird that looked like
a Mottled Duck on the slough on the eastern 1/3rd of Horseshoe Road in
western Henderson County (DeLorme p. 44, Block A-1). I took some photos
which Dave Roemer is doing an analysis of. He is in agreement that the bird
shows some characters of Mottled Duck, but he needs to look at some other
photos. If anyone is out that way, keep your eye out for this duck, which
from a distance looks like a female American Black Duck, which is all it
might be????? I did not see the speculum, which could provide more clue to
the identity of this bird. It was in loose company of a pair of Mallards and
was sleeping on the far (eastern) side of the slough about 1/2 way from
north to south end. This area is private land so tread lightly if crops get
planted in the surrounding fields!
