Hi all,
I'm Chris Allen, an absolute 'greenhorn' at American birding. I moved to
Wisconsin in February of this year from England after meeting my wife
online five years ago.
We live in Fond Du Lac, but yesterday we traveled to Manitowoc and I had
the opportunity to walk around the marina towards the lighthouse. I've
seen previous posts mentioning 'Manitowoc Impoundment'. Is this the same
area?
I need some help, especially with the ducks. The sawbill photos are very
dark and out of focus. The bird was teal sized and in the couple of
seconds I saw it, I noticed the 'merganser' bill and a wispy crest. I
guess it was a young red-crested merganser but would appreciate any help.
Later, I saw what I assume to be the same bird, with a sibling and mom but
they were to far away for any photos. The other duck had a yellow eye and
the original photo has been lightened considerably to show any
distinguishing features. Here is the link to the photos:

Many thanks in advance for any assistance,
Chris Allen
