Hello,
Newby here, both on this site and to the world of birding.
Today (2/20/20) my wife and I visited Fort Borst Park in Centralia.
Among the 75 gulls, and about 30 Mallards was a pair of all nearly black ducks.
Their bills were yellow/orange like a Mallard, although not as bright.
When I got a closer look at one of them in direct sunlight, I could see a slight greenish hue to the head, and some slight colors in its wing feather. The other stayed in the shadow of a small bush for the most part, but had the same slight colors to the parts of the wings in the sunlight. Feet were orange-ish, not as bright as the Mallards.
The closest I could find on line is Cayuga Ducks, a domesticated duck.
I did get several good photos but no idea if its possible or how to upload photos here.
Any help?
Thanks,
Richard Walker
