Can anyone tell me why some birds are "Redlegs" and some are "yellowlegs"?
Old wives tale I've heard is that the Redlegs are recent arrivals from the north.

I've heard all those same stories John but never really knew the truth. I turned the band in online and it was rung as a hatchling in July 2013 in Wisconsin. I was surprised it was that young. Bird was HUGE, half again the size of the other drake in the pile.

Somewhere I've got some great shots of a goose banding project I worked on. I'll try to find them.

Here in Downeast ME, the Capitol of Black Duck central, those redlegs belong on hybrids. We have a small population of Mallards here that interbreed with Black ducks. I've seen some pretty cool color combinations on a few mallards.
