The only downside was noticing the discoloration on his throat...
The Ruddy Ducks there also had the same discoloration...
These Ring-necked Ducks had more of a maroon coloring than we usually see, too...
Wonder is there's something in the water that's causing this???
(Also, is it normal for a female Ruddy Duck's bill to turn blue? We thought only the male's did that for summertime!)
As usual, we come away from a birding trip with more questions than answers!
