Note the pattern of brown and black on
the back, the fairly short black tail, white rump, frilly appearance above
white flanks.

Black Turnstone. Note that the
legs can sometimes appear quite orange. That trait is supposedly

somewhat paler and more harlequin-patterned, even in winter. |

| Number 2 | ||
|
Note the green head, white chest,
bright orange legs and feet. |
Male Northern Shoveler. The bird
to the left is bathing and is more or less upside down - a real
identification challenge. |
