Observation details
Location first! Drake. Hugged shore for much of the time Bob M and I observed it. Behavior similar to nesting bird. Will keep eye open for possible nest attempt. Yes, I am aware how odd a nesting Ruddy Duck pair would be in Allegheny Co., but the habitat at the lake area (shallow, marshy vegetation) is very similar to where Ruddy Ducks typically breed in pothole prairie ponds. ***Update 1 May 2018*** Observed bird appears to have moved on.
