Dear all,

I was in Shanghai Binhai park on Dec-10,2006.

Spotted a few ducks and need help in ID. I was wondering this could be a Canvasback ( Aythya valisneria) among the many other Greater Scaup (Aytha marila) I saw.

Cheers from Jimmy Ng

Being a member of HKBWS and, probably the first Hongkong member of the Shanghai Wild Birds Society ( www.shwbs.org) , I posted the above information to the WWF-China SH birdwatchers' BBS already.

Hi Forest,

Sorry I was not registered user there, yet.

Rating by the popularity of the various BBS for China birdwatchers, HKBWS probably  need more publicity of that ChinaBirdNet.
