Any time I can see an Canvasback Duck is one great birding
day. I hadn't seen much so I decided to leave the
island. I almost didn't stop at the first bridge but then decided
to take a look to see what the larger
waterfowl were. There was a glowing male Canvasback Duck
admidst what I thought were Redheads.
After looking at Sibley's, it's possible some were female
