    Not sure entirely what the small one is, I'm fairly certain it's a Forster's but I'm not sure. It was the only one in a large group of 50+ Royal Terns. Any ideas?

In general, is there a good way to tell the difference? I'm not very experienced with identifying ducks and potential hybrids, so...

    What bird/duck is this? New Hampshire, USA

    I saw this duck with a large group of mallards and a couple of American Black Ducks. The duck I am having trouble identifying is the black one with the white breast/chest. Is it some sort of hybrid/sub species?
