1 day left to vote in the first place final!
The poll will close April 28th at approximately 10 am PDT, so make sure you cast your vote before then!
First Place Final
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Fulvous Whistling Duck is not sexually dimorphic, which means females and males look the same. This duck, named for its tawny or “fulvous” colouration and whistling call, is one of two North American whistling duck species. They are commonly found in rice fields and marshes, where they spend their time foraging on vegetation.
The Green-winged Teal is sexually dimorphic, meaning the females look different from the males. Females are mottled brown with a shiny green patch on their wings. The Green-winged Teal is one of North America’s smallest duck species and is the smallest of the North American “dabbling ducks” (ducks that feed by tipping their heads under the water while their tails remain in the air). The average length of a Green-winged Teal from bill to tail is 37 centimetres or 14.5 inches.

Final polls are open!
The first place final closes April 28 at approximately 10 am PDT.
Fulvous Whistling Duck vs Green-winged Teal
The third place final closes April 22 at approximately 10 am PDT
Mallard vs Common Merganser
Final polls open April 21 at 10 am PDT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of the match ups in brackets A and B have been voted on, leaving us with our two finalists: The Fulvous Whistling Duck and the Green-winged Teal! The final poll for first place will open April 21st at approximately 10 am PDT and will stay open for 1 week. The poll for third place between the Mallard and Common Merganser will also open April 21st at 10 am PDT, but it will only be open for 1 day.
In order to make sure people don't miss out on voting in the final, I will reblog the poll a couple of times over the course of the week. If you would like to filter out those reblogs, I will have them tagged as #duck final reblog.
To all of the duck enthusiasts who have been voting on these polls, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude. I have had so much fun running this poll and reading all of your replies and tags. I will be running a second follow-up tournament focussing on the babies of each waterfowl species (thank you to @legend-of-the-fandoms for the suggestion!). There will be a two week break between the end of this tournament and the beginning of that one, to give everyone a little rest from these polls.
As always, you can find my methodology for seeding the brackets here and links to image sources here. Links to all semifinal polls are included in this post if you would like to see the exact scores.

Third Place Final
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Mallard is sexually dimorphic, meaning the females look different from the males. The female is mottled brown with an orange bill that has a distinctive orange saddle shape on top. Since Mallards are incredibly widespread, they are easily one of the most recognizable duck species in North America. Additionally, most domestic ducks breeds are descended from Mallards.
The Common Merganser is sexually dimorphic, meaning the females look different from the males. The female has a reddish brown head with a short, shaggy crest, and a grey body. The Common Merganser is the largest merganser in North America, measuring an average of 64 centimetres or 25 inches from bill to tail. Like other mergansers, it has a narrow, hooked bill that it uses to catch fish.

What about a follow up poll with the babies of every North American duck species? 👀
I think this is a fantastic idea! I may be somewhat limited by whether or not I can find images of certain species, but I would certainly be willing to give it a go.

GULL POLL!!!! I’m so hyped about this. I love gulls so much!
Welcome to the Best Gull Poll!
Here we're going to find out what's Tumblr's favorite gull! I love gulls and think it's sad that a lot of people don't realize the diversity of gulls, so I'm also taking this opportunity to highlight the beauty of all gull species.
This tournament was inspired by the other great bird tournament polls out there such as @supremebirdbracket @north-american-duck-poll and @may-the-best-penguin-win.
Currently: figuring out how I want to structure this tournament.

Round 4 match 2B
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Common Merganser is sexually dimorphic, meaning the females look different from the males. The female has a reddish brown head with a short, shaggy crest, and a grey body. The Common Merganser is the largest merganser in North America, and, like the others, has a narrow, hooked bill that it uses to catch fish.
The Harlequin Duck is sexually dimorphic, meaning the females look different from the males. The females have distinctive white patches on the face, and round white spots on the cheeks which make them easy to identify. They are a sea duck, and spend their winters along rocky coasts of both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
