I had the pleasure of seeing Ruddy Ducks sunning themselves this morning.
It is usually difficult for me to get a good view of the subtle plumage detail on the wintering Ruddy Ducks.- (breeding males have bold color)
From a distance I usually identify these diving ducks out by seeing their scoop-shaped bills and upright tales.

Larry, these ducks do their best, sunning after the winter cold. And you? Did you catch a little sun that day? I love how the birds look, nice feathers.
Have a nice day!
Scooped bills and uprights tale. Duh! And here I was paying attention to color. No wonder they were hard to identify at a distance...:)
Sometimes I don't pay attention at all when they're too far out to get a look at them.
