I'm not sure what I got this morning. It came in with some sprigs, and I shot it. When I got to it, I thought gadwall. Well, it has wings like a gadwall, but a bill like a pintail. It's a hen, and that's about the only way I know how to describe it.
I too a bunch of pictures and when I get to work tomorrow I'll see if I can get them to load and I'll post 'em.
I took it to a buds house and he says it is a pintail-widgeon hybrid, and now he's calling it "Snyde's Pigeon".
I think its a pintail-gadwall and I been calling it a "Grey-Tail".
Either way, it's not beautiful like drake hybrids would be, but it is kinda cool.
Whether any of these actually hyrbidize is beyond me, and frankly I guess it could go either way, but it was one dandy birthday present!!! And it is resting peacefully in the freezer waiting to make the road trip to immortality!!
