Hello All,
As John mentioned, we somehow miss the Tufted Duck yesterday. Today, we
wandered back up there separately, and managed to have success. Here's a quick
blog post
<http://littlebirder.blogspot.com/2017/03/yesterday-john-and-i-tried-for-tufted.html>
about the ID features of this immature male, with some photos.
Props to Phillip Kline on finding this bird! When you get a good look at
it, the Tufted Duck is plenty distinctive. But it's also easy to overlook,
and quite tricky to find when it's diving all the time. Always appreciate a
good learning experience in the field!
Good birding,
