[cobirds] Re: El Paso county Garganey(?) and Virginia Rail

I agree that this is a mallard with an "interesting" facial pattern. Very close examination of the pictures I took shows a blue patch near the tail and some blue fringes in the feathers.

Thanks for all of the feedback

I think I saw a Garganey and I definitely saw a Virginia rail at the Fountain Creek Nature center today, they were right next to each other. Also saw a Black-crowned night heron.

I would appreciate feedback on whether I am correct about the Garganey
