Observation details
Adult male discovered by Ed Kittredge this morning in the cove next to Rt 110. Best viewed from the pull-off on Rt 110, about 150 yards south of Gate 36 (be careful of traffic.) Heidi Murphy reports that this bird is missing its right eye. I couldn't see that detail in the fading light. The bird was swimming around with a male Ring-necked Duck and a female Comm Goldeneye. Coincidentally, this is the same spot that a female Canvasback was sighted back on 3/30/21 and she was swimming with a flock of Ring-necks.
