The Gadwall is a grey-coloured dabbling duck, a little smaller than the mallard, and with an obvious black rear end. It shows a white wing patch in flight. When seen close up the grey colour is made up of exquisitely fine barring and speckling. Its length is 46-56cm and the wingspan 84-95cm.

I have no pictures of Gadwall ducks and this opportunity was too good to pass up. The light was nice and he swam right by me as I lay on the bank. They are such an underrated duck with subtle beauty. At this location we were shooting Ring-necked ducks, Ruddy Ducks, Coots, Osprey, Green Heron, Red-shouldered Hawks, Phainopeplas, Black-crowned Night Herons, Snowy and Great Egrets , Nutmeg Mannikins (Scaly Breasted Munias), Nuttall's Woodpeckers, Western Bluebirds, Phoebes and White-throated Swifts! A very birdy park consisting of 7 different lakes. There was also a White-winged dove reported here but we did not see it. This photo was taken during Tim Boyer's San Diego Birds workshop. www.timboyerphotography.com/workshops/
