Tom and others,
Margaret sent the photos to us, too, and they indeed are Harlequin Ducks.
Then yesterday she emailed us that there were five of them present!
Another Door Co. birder saw a female Harlequin near Sand Bay, south of
Rowley's Bay along the Lake Michigan shore about two weeks ago while
watching the male snowy owl that was here from Nov. 15th to the 25th.

Subject: [wisb] Forwarded message - Harlequin Ducks at Washington Island
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.
Sandy-Ursula Petersen, Dane and Door counties
(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.)
