Observation details

Great find by Gak & Dawn! Single female plumaged bird observed floating with female Common Merganser. Round/Oval face patches and white secondaries easily viewed in scope. Poor photos in fading light. Viewed from just outside front gate as park is apparently closed for some reason. Nancy showed up and got a few looks before light was gone.
