Observation details
**Rare! Apparent second Montgomery County record and first for the park. Found this afternoon by the lady at the gatehouse (I don't remember her name). Thanks to Joe Greco for getting word out. The bird was easily viewed from the fishing pier, looking towards the back cove but the bird was right at the near shore. It called several times, a trademark 5-parted "Whip, Wheedeer, Whee, WHEER?". No leg bands present. The bird didn't flush when a photographer walked right up within 20 feet of the bird, though it did become alert and called nervously. Photos attached of this unique duck, chestnut with a dark belly, gray and white wings, gray face with darker crown, and bright red bill. Legs are very long for a duck and pink.
