Subject: BS: Name this duck, please From: Mr Red Date: 16 Jun 15 - 04:21 PM Duck in canal 5Mb JPG A few cluettes. It was hovering around near a female Mandarin with two chicks. And it was seen June 10th ish 2015. We have seen the female many times, but this one only once. Oh and I found out the meaning (in context) of eclipse |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: Greg F. Date: 16 Jun 15 - 04:36 PM Could it be an immature male Mandarin? Or a Gargany- altho I believe their bills are black. |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: meself Date: 16 Jun 15 - 04:49 PM How about 'Herb'? If I were a duck, that's the name I would want. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: gnu Date: 16 Jun 15 - 05:06 PM No... Herb? That brings a connotation of roast duck. I say, "Daffy." |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: Steve Shaw Date: 16 Jun 15 - 05:11 PM That reminds me of a Year 7 science class I had many years ago. Each kid got a woodlouse in a petri dish and a hand-lens, along with a worksheet to fill in. The first question was "Name your animal." Twenty-nine out of thirty kids wrote "woodlouse." The other one wrote "Jimmy." |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: Mr Red Date: 16 Jun 15 - 06:19 PM I thought immature Mandarin Male, or Mandarin male in eclipse. The mating season must be past, the chicks are hatched but still close to the mother. Looking at pictures of Mandarin in eclipse (means molt after mating I have since found out) the male looks remarkably like the female. He has strut his stuff. And stuffed his............ male mandarin in eclipse male mandarin in eclipse + discussion like ours I think the colour in the wing-tips convinces me. Thanks for joining in, I can now be superior in this dis-agreement, that I was trying to resolve. BTW His name is Mr Rinn And the female's name is Mandy Rinn - since you ask. |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: Mr Red Date: 18 Jun 15 - 02:29 PM I doubt it is a ferruginous duck - looking at a picture of ferruginous duck in eclipse. And no orange in the beak. |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 18 Jun 15 - 09:07 PM I like animal sounds. I use them on my answering machine. This spring I used five seconds of "Duck Dynasty." For twelve weeks I was visited (kept throwing water on them) up to ten times a day and once three times within five minutes by mallards. I changed the answering machine to coyote howls. Sincerely, Gargoyle The boney tails of two cats have been found in the yard. |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: Mr Red Date: 20 Jun 15 - 08:03 AM One Christmas I was rather surprised to see Mallard on sale at my local butchers. But they are wild, and not listed as a protected species, so are classed as game. |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: Donuel Date: 20 Jun 15 - 05:42 PM Today I had occasion to recall a picnic where my wife and I settled by a stream below a castle monastery in Boston. First several ducks landed nearby and in short order more ducks joined them. Like something by Hitchcock there were over 200 ducks as we tried to be nearly motionless. Suddenly one duck freaked and took off honking its danger honk. The blast of wind downward pushed us to the ground. With a few falling feathers we were once again alone. |

Subject: RE: BS: Name this duck, please From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 20 Jun 15 - 10:54 PM In the USA all mallards are protected by "the migratory bird act". Once an egg is laid....they are "anchor MOM and INFANT" to disturb the nest is a felonious crime. You do not want them to nest on your property. So...over twelve weeks the ducks were chased away. The county put up bright yellow "Do Not Cross" barrier tapes by the drainage ditch 100 yards away. No weeds were mowed...no vehicle entered. Sincerely, Gargoyle The last two evenings momma duck has been returning to the swimming pool, alone; after nesting her mate left. A raucus murder of crows has been feasting busily by the county yellow tape. |
