\"Green-wingedFemale Duck<\/span><\/p>\n

I photographed this female duck yesterday morning at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area (also known as Farmington Bay Bird Refuge) in northern Utah. She was on ice that was covered by frost flowers and was moving towards a group of males that were in open water. I love those frost flowers.<\/p>\n

Usually I can ID male ducks but female ducks give me trouble at times and I am working at strengthening those skills. I know which species this one is and thought I’d give you the chance to figure out what species this female is. The quiz is open for\u00a0until midnight January 9th\u00a0and I will provide the answer on the morning of January 10th.<\/p>\n

Can you figure it out?<\/p>\n
