Potential Goosander? UK
Hey, I was lucky enough to see this duck today on my hike! I THINK it is a Goosander? I've never seen a duck like this, I'm not an avid birdwatcher, but I do very much enjoy seeing new (to me) species randomly. I didn't get a fantastic photo, as I only had my phone today and the duck was quite...- Punkist86

Nonbreeding Mallard or Hybrid? (Central FL)
So I've seen this duck around a local pond before and I was just curious, is this a mallard in between breeding and nonbreeding plumage, or is it some kind of hybrid? In general, is there a good way to tell the difference? I'm not very experienced with identifying ducks and potential hybrids, so...- SandhillCrane02
