A quick fill-in Bucket. Featuring photos from a walk along the Schuylkill River on the 24th of September. And being the following bucket to Gracie’s Bark-It is a challenge as well.
I identify the Wood Duck by it being smaller than a mallard and the white eye ring. And from a distance it usually looks a little darker than a mallard. (Plus if male mallards are about they have those obvious green heads. Male wood ducks have a crest — but I have not picked those out yet.)
Thanks for coming along on a walk in the The Big Frontyard.
