If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck - WHICH SPECIES IS IT?! Learn all about the distinguishing features of the colourful drakes and camouflaged hens of the waterfowl world as they return to their breeding grounds on the prairie potholes.

Recently retired after 20 years of service with the Government of Manitoba, she now enjoys her time participating in bird surveys (owl, Sharp-tailed Grouse and breeding birds), hunting and fishing.
