OMG a Redhead! No it was only a Canvasback sitting close up on a log next to a Harlequin Duck and a scaup. Looking further out into the marina another red headed duck. This one was with a scaup and was a Redhead. A first in this county for me.


To add further interest the Harlequin Duck next to the Canvasback has a silver band and appears in a couple photos to have a wire transmitter off its tail.
