Saw these ducks at the golf course. Not sure what they are! But there are two, and I will honor my brother another day as he tees off in about 5 minutes. I found out recently that our high school friends thought we were twins, so I find this photo to be appropriate. Good luck David! Knock 'em dead today!

Thanks everyone. He had a pretty good day. If he has at least as good a day tomorrow, he will advance to match play. Considering he is playing against the 150 best amateur seniors in the country, I am proud of him.
And as for the ducks, I think they were just upset with me for not feeding them! I still have been unable to identify them.
@danette Danette, I don't know. It is possible....they come in so many colour varieties but I am used to them having so much more 'scale' around their beak and eyes. Maybe juveniles? I cannot enlarge your photo to get a better look. Is that scale around their eye or just a dark eye ring?
@lynnb It's a dark eye ring. I don't really see much scale on them at all. Even their beaks are not as ugly as Muscovies. We see a lot of juveniles but I have only seen this color one other time about 2 months ago in a separate location.
@simon0128 Thank you for your comments, Simon. Always appreciated.
@bdb3471 Thanks, Brian! Well, I suppose this wasn't his year to win the championship, but at least he got to compete with the 150 best senior amateurs in the country.
Hope David had a good day :o)
