Thanks, Dave ⭐⭐. I never saw them either - and there are so many ducks of different colors out there - It's hard to keep track of them

I was thinking of blue and teal, and the two colors don't seem to fit; but my friend is a confirmed hunter and has shot basically everything that flies - or has horns (

). I just wanted to get a backup assessment, and I thank you Bill

70-year old eyes with glasses, no less, but I happened to see them like little pin-pricks, swimming in a boggy part of the area I frequent. Luckily I have a huge lens with image stabilization for my twitchy hands...
