The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
Last week, Tom Mitchell asked folks on the Fyke email list what kind of duck he photographed recently at the Celery Farm. He said that the incomparable Fred Weber pronounced it a hybrid.
What do you think? If it's a hybrid, of what?
Sally T. suggested a female Redhead — the head looks similar but I'm not sure about the rest of the plumage.
I think it might be a N. Shoveler/N. Pintail hybrid, but I'm just guessing. :- )
