~Waterfowl are certain wildfowl of the order Anseriformes, especially members of the family Anatidae, which includes ducks, geese, and swans~

Did you notice that the open bill occurs with the upper bill raised and the lower bill still horizontal? The head appears to be still in the same upright position. Can it be that the bill is hinged on the upper side?

I like your idea of "duck hunting".

I did notice it had a unique look to it, but now that you mention it, it does look like it.

Drove along the Niagara River today on the Canadian side and saw millions of ducks! Great day!
Since this is the first year we are trying to learn ducks, ID-ing them is not so easy but fun. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
