Duck ID Needed
Feb 20, 2019 16:54:16 #
Hi all, this has me a bit stumped. The shots were of the same duck taken yesterday (2/19/19) in Ocean County, NJ. I believe it’s a juvenile of some breed of duck. Any help would be appreciated.

But which species? There are many species of diving ducks.

Thank you. Looks like it’s definitely a Long-tailed. That’s what we were leaning toward, but could not find anything definitive. You have the thanks of 3 slightly confused non-birder bird photographers!

Thanks. I agree. Sirsnapsalot gave me a really good link that I’ve bookmarked for the future.
