They are looking for people to record any sightings they have of this species. I saw some once at Corkscrew Swamp in Florida.

Those ducks are so hard to sneak up on; I am thinking about making myself some sort of mobile photo-blind, and then I'll just sit out on the marsh and wait for the ducks to come. Otherwise, it's almost impossible to get any photos!

I love dogs, but get annoyed at the people who let theirs run free (and make messes) on the trails.
