    Tim, Unless you're messing with me, :l, then probably a pintail or a small patch of water next to a mallard.

    Here is a zoom of the area you described. Hope this helps.

    CT, it cracks me up that you did the same thing I did, zoom in on the pics and look at individual birds. I checked for bands on standing birds, unusual birds, other species etc. It's nice to know that I'm not the only off-season sicko out there! :yes:tu:l

    I was surprised to see such a big bunch of mallards and pintails without a stray Widgeon, GW Teal, Gadwall, or other mixed in somewhere. Besides the geese, (and a few coots) I could only find mallards and pins.

    Great pics, Bill. Thanks! :tu
