Canvasback x Redhead (hybrid) (Aythya valisineria x americana) - 15 March 2024 - Eagle Lake, Heahnle Sanctuary, Leoni Township, Jackson County, Michigan
Observation details
Adult male swimming with group of Redheads. The back and sides of this individual were very pale in comparison to the male Redheads, and more like Canvasback. It appeared to be a bit larger the an the Redheads. The forehead appeared to be less steep and more sloped than the neighboring Redheads. This group of birds was very distant, maybe 300 - 400 yards away. I have some poor distant shots taken with my Nikon P1000 to add.
