    Bufflehead? South Carolina, USA

    Seen at a distance in a river / marsh area on Hilton Head Island, last week. Single bird. The island is loaded with Hooded Mergansers, but this bird seemed different even at a distance. The photos have been altered in brightness only. If it is a Bufflehead, this would be a new life bird for...

    Duck ID Check - Grangettes on Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

    Hello, Sorting though some photos from 2021 I remembered this picture of a duck seen at Les Grangettes on Lake Geneva in May 2021. I thought it was a male Pochard but was never 100% sure. Can anyone advise please. Best regards and thanks in advance Caliboss

    These male Northern Shovelers are so beautiful, you cannot stop photographing or filming them. This one was swimming in a brook in a nature reserve in Lower Saxony in Germany. Although this clip is a bit wobbly I am sharing it, not only because of its beauty but also because you can hear him...

    Help Identifying Taxidermy Ducks

    Firstly, first post so hi! Secondly, and more importantly, hope asking for help with identity of taxidermy is Ok? I came across these in a shop (didn’t buy them, but was intrigued by their identity), and whilst normally I can identify most common/UK species either by eye or with some help from...

    SW Florida USA - Duck & hawk

    This bird seemed too small for a Mottled, appearing not too much larger than the American Coots with which it was keeping company. Seen today at Lakes Park. Bonus bird (no photos): a hawk approximately the size of a Red-shouldered, neutral brown back and perfectly matching tail with no...

    Waterfowl from Vogelplas Starrevaart, Netherlands

    Hi everyone, Here are a few different duck/waterfowl species I photographed in mid-August in the Vogelplas Starrevaart (Netherlands) where I'd like to ask for or confirm my IDs on. The area is known for its high diversity of bird species. I believe it's likely that I was maybe in the "eclipse"...

    Could you confirm that the following are indeed a flock of Green-winged Teals and a Sedge Warbler, respectively? Thanks a lot! The warbler (?) in particular confuddled me.
