Hello Tweeters,

A colleague, Gene Gudger, and his wife saw and photographed this
duck on the east side of the Union Bay Natural Area (Montlake Fill) last
Sunday. He has finally got the photo on a web site which will, I hope, be
compatible with tweeters. It looks like a Black Duck to me, even though the
legs are dark and the bill is also. Has anyone else inspected this bird?

Good birding to all, in spite of the
rain!

I did some exploring and have a web posting for the duck in question if this
will help. Please see:
