Observation details
Decided to break from the pack scouring Eagle Pool and headed for the opposite shore. Had a couple of sparrows fly across the road in front of me so I pulled over to id them. Before getting out of the car I figured I'd get a look at the three ducks up close to the shore. I'm mumbling to myself shoveler, shoveler, garganey - GARGANEY WHOA!!! Shot a couple of documentary photos and slowly got out of the car. By now some of the other birders are rolling down the road towards me. Now I'm windmilling and pointing for all I'm worth! Message received, they quickly approach and enjoy the view.
