Male Tufted Duck at A Street Ponds in Santa Maria, CA
Observation details
Drake in the smaller of the two A Street ponds. Reported to me by John Deacon who found the bird a short time earlier. This was a striking duck with a purplish glossy head color and a prominent shaggy tuft of feathers extending off the back of the head. It had a black back with bright white sides and black at the rump and undertail coverts. The breast was black. It had a golden-yellow iris. The bill was gray-blue with a black nail at the tip of the bill. Photos
