Northern waterfowl could be sitting ducks in gulf disaster
In two months, blue-winged teal will start leaving Minnesota for the coastal marshes of Louisiana and other points south. Within weeks afterward, wood ducks will join the autumn migration, followed by many of the other duck species that nest in the North but spend their chill months along the Gulf Coast. What exactly awaits these birds is unknown. But for the 13 million ducks and another 1.5 …

I have a joke! Sorry it is so long!?

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she lay her pet on the desk, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a second or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, “I’m so sorry, your pet has passed away.”

The distressed owner wailed, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure. The duck is dead,” he answered.

“How can you be so sure”, she protested. “I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He force just be in a coma or something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few moments later with a pair of Labrador Retrievers. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dogs stood on their hind legs, place their front paws on the examination desk and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. They then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook their heads. The vet patted the dogs, took them out of the room and returned a few moments later with a gorgeous cat. The cat jumped up on the desk and also sniffed the bird from its beak to its tail and back again. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most certainly, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck’s owner, subdue in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she cried. “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead?!!”

The vet shrugged. “I’m sorry. If you’d taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20. But what with the Lab Reports and the Cat Scan, it all adds up.”

i was at a park in anderson indiana and came upon a big brown duck looking bird…it was late in the season?

and the bird looked like a duck and goose mix, and i know this is not possible…it was all auburn, long tail feathers, auburn beak and feet…it look like a duck from the neck up, but the body was too huge for a duck…but it did not have the face features that a goose has….what could it be?

What kind of bird is this?

In Jacksonville, NC I saw a black duck-like bird (doubtless about 15 inches long), and later a total family of them, but I can’t find out on any bird identification sites what it is. It was mainly black but when it apply its wings I could see there is a lot of white on the undersides of the wings. It also has some red around its eyes extending to its beak. Here is a picture: http://thumb5.webshots.net/t/66/666/9/72/0/2966972000074040885BpZiyY_th.jpg
Sorry, I didn’t realize it only linked to the thumbnail. This should be a larger picture: http://excellent-times.webshots.com/photo/2966972000074040885BpZiyY

What types of ducks are these?

We hatched these in my classroom about 4 months ago from a duck egg “grab bag”. I reckon the small, dark duck is a female mallard and the larger auburn duck is a female Khaki Campbell, but what is the duck with the white and auburn pattern? Is it also a girl? Also, is its beak changing colors, because this new, mottled look took us by surprise!
Thanks for your help!!
