Mystery duck, Douglas

[Hugh Kingery]

We looked at Diane Roberts' photo of the hybrid duck at Walker Pit - she saw it Thursday, we saw something practically identical today, probably the same bird. Her photo shows the black cap covering the eye whereas we could see more white in the face so that the eye popped out as a black dot in the white.

She deems it a Bufflehead/Com. Goldeneye hybrid. Can someone steer us to a source for that?

Thanks to Christian Hagenlocher for steering us to the picture (on the CFO Bird Alert Facebook page).

I'd like to suggest the Macaulay Library as it has a nice assortment of pictures of BUFFxCOGO.  In this case, I strongly suspect all photos have been reviewed as they should flag rare in all locales.  It appears there are 138 photos you might ogle.

Good birding,
