Just got back from a walk at Radnor Lake and this duck was diving east of the
"peninsula" and visible from the road. I saw it late on Friday afternoon and
was glad to see it was still at Radnor today.
Here are some of the features I could see with my binoculars:1. White cheek
patch with a dark brown head2. Blue-ish bill3. Grayish back4. White sides5.
Larger than a female bufflehead
My husband and I were wondering if it was a hybrid - maybe between a bufflehead
and a ruddy duck.
If anyone sees this unusual duck at Radnor and can identify it that would be
greatly appreciated.
The Redhead ducks (3 males and 1 female), 3 American Wigeons and the 2
Green-winged Teals are still at Radnor. One male Northern Shoveler was also
there today.
