Yours truly
Northern Pintail
(Anas acuta)
On my return to the Las Gallinas Sanitary Ponds on 17 October 2005, I found very large numbers of Northern Pintails, a kind of duck I had not seen here before. The lack of really long feathers in the tail of these ducks is apparently a seasonal phenomenon. An image of a northern pintail in eclipse plumage is HERE. Two images, please scroll down.
