Observation details

Beautiful male tucked under the bank on the bike path side of the canal. Thanks to the birder who kindly alerted us as we entered migratory way. Medium sized dabbling duck with bright chestnut head and yellow-buff forehead/crown. Gray body, broad white flank stripe and jet black undertail coverts. Stunning male. Didn’t appear to show any hybrid traits. Possibly the same as found by Taj Schottland on Jan 16th.
