Northern Pintail

This drake was seen during the Ithaca CBC on January 1, 2006 at Stewart Park in Ithaca, NY.





Sheldrake Point - 17 March, 2007

A nice comparison between female mallards and female Northern Pintail. Note
the bill color, structural differences, and feather pattern on the flanks.


Pintail is in the back/top.


Again, Pintail is in the back.


Two male mallards and the female Pintail.


Here's the femal with the male pintail.
