Rudy Duck

[Douglas Sherman]

This is one of the cutest of the duck family. They are small, pretty, and that big blue bill is outrageous. Thanks for shifting my attention from the past wildflower season, Jim.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Yep, they are very cute, nice catch.

Hey Doug, glad to be of service.

This is a super cool duck. I don't think I have run across this guy before.

That bill is quite the contrast. Neat critter.

Thank you, Don. These are some of my favorite birds.

That big blue bill is really sexy to a female Rudy, Alan.

Their antics in the spring mating season is hilarious, Jim.

Yep, they are very cute, nice catch.

These birds are members of a group of ducks known as stiff-tailed. When they get excited that tail goes straight up.

Cool, I've never seen one of these either.
