Observation details
With thanks to Beth Payne who first found and reported this gorgeous male Mandarin Duck and for coming back with her scope so the rest of us could get looks. Very colorful male, basically unmistakable with partly orange face, side whiskers and wing sail, wide stripe of wide above the eye, small beak. Unfortunately, it was on the far southern end of the reservoir, so I was able to obtain only distant photos. When Beth and Cindy saw the duck earlier, it was observed flying from the north to the south shore.
