Black Duck?

Postby Locked Up » Mon Dec 14, 2009 8:19 pm

Help me out, is this a Black!!! Sorry for the bad lighting will try to get better pics if needed. Never shot a Black before, I think it is but from reference photos but wanted some info.

i do believe it is, i think if it was a summer mallard it would have a more irradescent speculum and more white on the edges. but i think someone who has shot a black duck before needs to chime in.......

Speculum doesn't look right, may just be the light!

the speculum is usually bluer, but it could definitely be the light. congrats.

Gotta trust a man who lives on the coast despite his profession. 8)

Mottled ducks have a greenish speculum
Black ducks have a Dark purplish speculum
Mallards - well if you don't know ........

The "white fringe" that is there on your bird is often found on black ducks. I don't worry much about it.
