Intersex Mallard - Anyone else ever shoot one?

Clip the tongue and send it to DuckDNA. You will have your answer.

...and maybe avian flu or encephalitis...haha

Why couldnt it be old and released??? If you don't mind me asking, why do you pick released over old? I am genuinely curious how you are getting to this conclusion.

well, see, I'm a numbers guy. I went with the most statistically possible answer.
--it was in SC
--it was on a wooden blind floor
--there was pinestraw
--and released ducks rarely get old.
all those led me to guess released over old. certainly not both.

Its not a longshot. I wonder what others say???

It's got at least one of its back toes...cutting the already low, low chance that it's a tamie in half.

It's a cousin of the Mottled Duck and it's non-migratory.

Indian Spot Billed duck

We'll need a ruling from turbo on this.

Its a cousin of the mottled duck only in the sense that its a cousin of every duck in the mallard complex.
