Before I read Dave's post, I was just thinking that the general shape of
the hen looked more like a Gadwall than a Pintail to me.
Cool-looking bird!

This luecistic duck was photographed at Lake Abert in Lake County on
Monday. Her pigment situation didn't seem to curtail her reproductive
capabilities. This brood was associating with some eclipse pintails so we
got a few seconds to compare shape with them. It looked to match the shape
of the others so I called this one Northern Pintail. Any duck lovers out
there see something else?
