Hi Sharon, I revisited your blog after a long time..and some hectic last weeks with way too little time for blog reading. Loved the post on duck ID. Very educational – didactic (is that the right way to put it in English?).
Last week I needed to paint an arrow on a photo for a blog post. Can you tell me how you make those lovely colored arrows? Totally newbie on that part of blogging!

The one on the lower right also looks suspiciously like Greater.

Cheers, Sharon, nice posts.

I win! I knew working with waterfowl would pay off.

And I think there’s ~20 mallards in that first picture. I’m basing this on the white outer retrices, which I think is rather unique among the dabblers.
