Observation details
A bit confusing at first, still in their hatch year plumage, and seemed runty (maybe I'm not used to seeing them at this range? or in SF?) but- dark bill edged with orange, head shape classic GADW, obvious white speculum. Seems one may have replaced scaps? Initially on the center east side of the lake, swam to the pagoda, but then leapt after a Mallard that shot north for handouts. Found them again near the eastern island, seemed to be closing up shop for the night here 37.769203, -122.472980
