The brant was still present feeding at Bayfront Park in Duluth at 5p.m. today. I was able to hang out in the area until the bird was comfortable and capture some good images. Here are links to a few of the images I was able to get. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5232/brant1ro1.jpg

Derek, If I had to take a guess. I would say that they are male Mallard-Black Duck hybrids. If you have access to a copy of National Geographic's Field Guide to the Birds of North America you can see an artist's rendition of this hybrid. I have had the opportunity to see and photograph a few of
