Hi Gail -

Last year I saw a group of wood ducks that looked like this. I've never seen 
this appearance of woodies before. I only knew what they were because I saw 
them with mom. When I went back a week later they had changed into something 
that looked more like a woodie. My conclusion was that there is a short 
period of time when woodies have this appearance. Maybe someone else has 
seen this as well.
