Non-breeding male
Detalhes da observação
Seen first by Craig Kessekheim, this bird was foraging in the wrack line. Photos reveal Gadwall continues to find forage at high tide with ABDU and MALL and has been seen mingling with BUFF. Seawall pond outfall is nearby and a great deal of detritus is washed into this upper cove near the road. A well know location for Snow Bunting and a variety of ducks, this is the first Gadwall I have found at this location and is apparently, an unpaired male and as noted by Pete Dunne, "paired males and females remain together throughout the winter." I also think of Gadwall as a fresh water, forested and shrub wetland and pond bird so this is a good example of a Gadwall in a tidal estuary. The winds have been blowing easterly today.
