Observation details
*Rare in this county (county lifer!). Very good-looking duck, vivid red round head, black breast, gray body, blue-grey bill with black tip. Markedly smaller than the Mallards. Have photos. Swam around for a bit, then rested on the dock, preened, slept fitfully. Chased a Mallard hen on the dock for a moment and later when he was sleeping a Mallard drake give him quite a nip while passing by. Thanks to Katherine Figueroa for the report, and to Todd and Alan for the updates about the duck's presence. This was my 200th species of the year in the county, which I've never gotten before.
