Crossing the Howard Frankland this morning, I saw some ducks in the distance that I couldn't ID, but I knew they were something I had not seen. I suspect you just gave me the answer. Thanks, and good shots.

Thanks to all. Was excited to find this bird yesterday. They do not show up very often in our area.

Sparker if you want to try and see this bird check the north side of C. Campbell around light pole 184. It dives often so just keep scanning about 100 ft or so out. Has been consistent between pole 174 and 190

Congrats on the lifer... well done. I see these ducks in Lake Superior occasionally, but I can never get close to them.

Thanks Dave. This one for some reason moved from about 50 yards away to less than 20 ft. Came in close to get out of wind and preen. Just right spot, right time for me

Nice catch. I never thought about going out on that bridge for birding but you may have given me a great hint.

Don, i had never gone out there till about 2 weeks ago (before this bird). Drive along the side roads. Can be a good variety of shorebirds. Avoid low tide as the bird are too far out to photograph.
