Observation details
Apparently the first record for Nantucket. Most striking were the bright pink bill and legs. Face gray with dark eye outlined in white, dark stripe down back of head. Body chestnut-colored with wide white wing patch and black belly. It just walked back and forth along the muddy shoreline. I went back around 7:30 to help someone find it, but the duck was not visible. Hopefully it will stay so others can see it. Totally serendipitous find. Probably cuz I didn't have my camera due to forecast of possible rain. Kim called Tom to come with his excellent camera and he got first photos. Then he drove me home to get mine. Thank you, Tom!!! Don't let me ever go on a walk without it again!!
