Resin, that's interesting. I was guessing the white feathers on the younger bird was the sign of age, as per Bald Eagles, white is a sign of age.

A number of local bird photographers have been frustrated, because 3 or 4 pairs of Canvasback have staked out territory's directly in front of the viewing pull out at Potter's Marsh, but just a little too far out in the marsh for a decent shot. This evening must have been about my eight try. Too my surprise, a male and two females, were feeding just a few feet off shore. I got a little carried away and took over a hundred shots of just the Canvasback. Notice the difference in the eye color between the sexes.
