Birders, Tonight I observed an apparent female Black Duck X Wood Duck hybrid at the shorebird/waterfowl habitat at Hillman Marsh this evening april 29th.
this odd hybrid is in company with a male Black Duck. the bird is about the size of a black duck but has the shape of a woodduck. overall the bird is brown. If anyone is going to take photos I'd love a couple. the Willets left this evening, but then again all shorebirds leave for the night and come back in the late morning. Dean Ware Wheatley ON.
