As started in our first post on duck idenfication, following a process is the best way to identify birds on the flight.  Today we will discuss using the duck's silhouette to help in identification.

Some ducks have very unique silhouettes that will lead to their identity fast.  The wood duck is normally difficult to identify in flight for the beginner, but if you pay attention to the way they hold their head in tilted back and cocked it becomes much easier to identify.  Another duck easily figured out by its silhouette is the drake pintail with its long streamer tail that is a dead giveaway.
