The photo below shows a male Gadwall. The
female is a nondescript brown with a white speculum and yellow sides
to the bill. Slightly smaller than a Mallard it is a resident of marshes
and waters where there is a growth of reeds. It is a surface feeder.
It is also a resident bird though nowhere is it particularly numerous.
