Various Brown Ducks - females
IDENTIFICATION OF DUCKS HAS TWO MAIN PROBLEMS:
-- DRAKES CHANGE THEIR WARDROBE WITH THE SEASONS SO THAT THE DISTINCTIVE MALE BREEDING PLUMAGE IS REPLACED BY A
TRANSITION PLUMAGE AND THEN THE ECLIPSE PLUMAGE WHICH LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE CORRESPONDING FEMALE
-- FEMALE DUCKS ARE DESIGNED TO BE INCONSPICUOUS, BROWN AND WELL-CAMOUFLAGED AND MANY LOOK REMARKABLY SIMILAR
SINCE THE MAIN WATERFOWL INDEX PAGE FOLLOWS CONVENTION BY PICTURING MALE DUCKS IN BREEDING PLUMAGE, THIS PAGE ILLUSTRATES SEVERAL OF THOSE FEMALES WHICH DIFFER FROM THE MALES AND ARE BASICALLY SIMILAR BROWN DUCKS
