About the Presentation

New England's wetlands, lakes, ponds, and coastal waters are a haven for a stunning variety of ducks. Some species are local year-round residents, while others are thrilling to spot as they pass through during the spring and fall migrations. Many more are vital winter visitors, migrating from their northern breeding grounds to our relatively milder climate.

Whether you're a seasoned birder or a curious newcomer, this presentation will enrich your understanding of the magnificent ducks found in our area.

During his presentation, Bill Gette will:

• Showcase his beautiful and informative photographs.

• Review helpful field identification aids for different species.

• Discuss each duck species’ habitat preference and behavioral characteristics.

• Recommend the best local spots for birdwatchers to see these incredible birds.
