Eclipse plumage? Is that because of the lunar eclipse on Wednesday morning,
here between 5:15 am and sunrise?

Wintering ducks are beginning to filter in to the Richmond area. Jack
Esworthy reported Northern Shovelers and Blue Winged Teal from Dutch Gap
yesterday, and Ellison Orcutt found Green-winged Teal, Blue-winged Teal, and
Northern Shoveler on Swan Lake at Byrd Park this morning, along with
Pied-billed Grebe and American Coots.
The ducks at Byrd Park were all either female or males in eclipse plumage,
so it would pay to have a field guide with you to sort them out. The teal
are significantly smaller than the Mallards, which helps in picking them out
of the crowd.
