Lifer! Beautiful male found in the Holland State Park channel leading into Lake Macatawa. The ducks were congregating in the channel because it was the closest spot of open water. I mainly saw him swimming, diving, and preening near the south side of the channel between the blue guard rails and rocks right below the large house here: 42°46'21.5"N 86°12'33.9"W. He occasionally moved towards Lake Macatawa, but never went past the 3rd Orange ladder. When I was leaving, he made his way more towards Lake Michigan still closer to the southern part of the channel near the icicles. He was more noticeable than I was thinking he would be with a smaller body than nearby Scaup. He also stood out with a clean bright white body, all black back, black with purple hue head, black chest, and of course the fluffy feathery tuff on his head. I will add my pictures soon.
