Thanks Ryan.
You’re welcome, Kate!
😍😍😍😍😍 quackers
:D
Great video! I like to see that some of our migrants have made it back to the breading grounds safely, after enjoying their vacation down here in Panama. We are sending more of them back your way everyday, fat and happy. More warblers and tanagers are on the way.
At San Antonio zoo I saw mallards a ruddy duck an Egyptian goose and redheads as well as hooded mergansers and northern shovelers and a new lifer black-bellied whistling duck. Those were the ducks just hanging with the other exotic ducks and swans
Sometimes it seems like the tame exotic ducks attract wild species
Spring and Red Robin
Wish the ring-necked duck could have made it further in the Duck Bracket, they look pretty spiffy.
They are the business casual of ducks
Beautiful ducks. So entertaining to watch them.
Thanks for watching!
Only "waterbirds" in my town are mallard, common goldeneye and the common merganser + some whooper swans. Im so jealous of the snow/ice amount over there, just this week it has rained 20cm of snow.
Which state do you live in?
Great video as always!!
Diving ducks are so difficult to get pictures of because every time I finally get the camera focused, it dives underwater and comes up quite a distance away from where it went under. Great job capturing them diving!
You have to get lucky and catch them on a day when they're just hanging out lol
Wow been busy this week Ryan nice always enjoy keep up the good work 👍
Thanks! Will do!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is my favourite ever video! You guys don't know how much I love ducks and I raised 5 Mallard ducklings.I would love to go to the US and see some of the ducks over there
That's awesome! Our dad raised a Mallard when he was a kid!
We get many Canada geese here in my area in Texas. We have a huge lake not far from my home and next week I'm going out to the lake and hopefully find a bunch of different ducks myself. Really enjoyed the video Ryan!
These are some beauties you found for sure!!
We're glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with the duck search!
Just photographed some Buffleheads yesterday, here in the Milwaukee area. Going out after work today to see what else I can find. Great video!
Thans for watching! Good luck!
Those looked like greater scaup to me. I didn't see no head-bump. Maybe I missed it.
Great video - I look forward to going out in a couple of months (March 2023). Just one question - what is the unusual looking duck in the last frame of the video during the wrap-up. Looks “Mallard-like”, especially with the curled tail feathers, but the colouring is atypical with that white neck?
That’s a domestic Mallard color variation. I believe they are called Duclairs
@@BadgerlandBirding Thanks! Always learning.
And now most of the ducks (by me at least) are gone 😐
Was just at Horicon the other day. It has pretty much ever migratory species right now
@@BadgerlandBirding nice! I'll have to get up there one of these days
