Observation details
Drake; likely continuing. Plumage is coming along nicely. Head showed slight green gloss along with characteristics such as larger, rounded head. Bill large with thick nail. Confirmed in entirety with a decent flight shot when the raft was flushed by a fishing boat. White extended well into primaries. I didn't make note of any hen that looked much of interest, and even though I picked him out with bins pretty quickly, I didn't have long to observe the group. Birds appeared to have landed in the Northeast lake. First spotted in the usual North central lake as was typical before his apparent hiatus.
