Green-winged Teal (Anas crecca) 7
Redhead (Aythya americana) 1 This bird was also seen by Trey Mitchell a day or two earlier; not sure if he photographed it. The bill was dark with slightly darker tip; no white ring around it (dark tip was not that conspicuous which leads me to wonder if it was the lighting or this bird is not fully adult). Head was uniform brown in color with a slightly darker crown; no white plumage next to the base of the bill which would indicate Lesser Scaup and, to a lesser extent, Ring-necked Duck. Two female Ringed-necked Ducks were nearby for good comparison. Duck was diving. No other Aythya duck fits description. Two female Redheads wintered at this location in 2010-2011.
