All,

I saw what I believe were two male Redheads at Fort Steilacoom Park this
afternoon, swimming among the Ring-necked ducks. The slight doubt is
because the body coloring described in Sibley doesn't exactly match what
I saw. They were not Canvasbacks. The head and bill look like
Redheads. However all the descriptions say they have a black breast and
gray backs, while I would say these birds have dark gray breasts and
sort of a tanish/grayish back. I had good looks at them through my
scope, but unfortunately they were too far away to photograph.
