Males have corkscrew shaped penises that can reach up to 14 inches, and females have "false" channels to divert the male's penis in order to prevent the sperm from getting to the right spot, which is how the females deal with unwanted mates. You can read more about it at http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11764-female-ducks-fight-back-against-raping-males-.html or at http://www.livescience.com/4426-ducks-wage-genital-warfare.html<br /><br />Of course, none of this explains the role of that all white duck...Scott Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114601276804480449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-20054650109464828882014-02-20T09:29:33.365-08:002014-02-20T09:29:33.365-08:00Excellent.

Gull 3 is not quite as obvious due to its larger heft, but as you said the underside of the primaries looks good and it could be a 3rd-cycle male THGU (and if not THGU, GWGU X HERG would be my next choice). Gull 4 looks like an Olympic (varying degrees of blackness in the primaries, otherwise recalls WEGU) and gull 5 looks good for GWGU.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-63889279080099505232014-02-20T08:42:16.245-08:002014-02-20T08:42:16.245-08:00Ha!

The bark dust part has me more intrigued than the gulls do obviously! :)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328195758782074675noreply@blogger.com
