Observation details
A rare record for this time of the year. Other bird guides had reported a single duck type bird . Part of the reason for this bird walk was to confirm the duck. Turns out it is an individual male Northern Pintail. Vary of humans , both hiding in the tall grass around the water body and when approached getting into the water body to stay far away. No visible signs of injury or sickness. Was also seen later feeding in the tall swampy marshy grass area.
