Hi Tweeters,

The below message was posted on the OR equivalent to Tweeters, and I thought a
good number of you might find it educational. I haven't figured out all of the
answers yet, so I'm also looking forward to checking the answers in a week!

Subject: Dabbling Duck Silhouette Quiz
From: Greg Gillson <greg AT thebirdguide.com>

"The identification of hen ducks deserves more consideration than what is
given in the field guides. Many birders identify hen ducks only by noting what
drakes they are hanging out with." "Nearly all ducks can be identified by shape
alone.... Here I present some hen dabbling duck silhouettes.... Make your
guesses.... I'll give you the answers next week, with the silhouettes replaced
with color photos."
