New to weird ducks? Wondering what is 'weird duck' season?
During the winter a riotous variety of waterfowl fly south to our seas and wetlands. It's a great time to see all the "weird" ducks visiting that leave us in the spring - little ducks, large ducks, demure ducks, fancy ducks, ducks with mohawks, ducks in perfect duck camo, ducks with iridescent streaks, and likely some shorebirds, gulls, raptors, perhaps a grebe or a coot. Let's see! ~
