Hi all.
After pondering it more and with photos back it appears that the bird
wasnt a hybrid but rather a male Tufted Duck with little crest. Despite
repeated checks the bird did not persist. I will submit the photos and
description to the bird records committee, but add this one to the nice
list thats becoming for spring rarities in eastern washington this
spring.
