Eastern Lake, duck details, late 2007

Click the photo above for a full-size view of the ducks featured in the panorama of Eastern Lake.

Here are some details of the migrating birds that stopped for a few weeks on Eastern Lake in November and December, 2007. Most of them were like the dark gray ones with light bills and darker heads (called Coots) in the first photo. A few had bright white bodies, with a darker chest and broader, darker beak as in the second photo. A handful were ruddy as in the bottom photo. They intermingled, moving in small or large groups between north and south parts of the lake.
