This is the actual duck that we saw.   Mom zoomed in as far as the digital zoom would go.  As you can see, it was not holding up its tail.

Matthew, your picture is great. Thank you for telling us about the Ruddy Duck--I have never seen one or heard the name before. It is a very neat looking bird.

Wonderful duck! Thank you for sharing!

And I'm actually rainbowdash's mom. You'll notice the differences in spelling if you check her blog!

Matthew, Thanks for the picture and information about the ruddy duck. It's blue beak certainly makes it noticeable! We have had more ducks around our area here in Kansas since we have had so much more rain than last year. We enjoy watching them as we drive to town. Anita Curry
