This is a message forwarded from Sandy Peterson, who is not currently on
Wisbird:
Last Saturday November 28, 2009, Margaret Young, Conrad McDonald and I were
birding at the Potato Dock (private) on Washington Island and we discovered
3 female (imm?) Harlequin Ducks. We did get some photos and I'm sending a
couple. Margaret has been back with several other people and they found
five of these birds today.
In addition, there were the usual winter ducks on the Door last week-end
including Long-tailed, Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Mergansers, etc and dabblers
(Wigeon, Gadwall, Mallards, etc) in good numbers on the east side off Hog
Island. Two small flocks of Snow Buntings were also observed.

(She attached two photos that she took on Nov. 28, 2009 at Washington Island
WI, each of which I believe shows three female-plumaged Harlequin Ducks.)
