From school I headed south to Wades Point Inn to see if I could find the Harlequin Duck.  The woman at the inn was very welcoming.  I walked East from the parking area, checking along the rocky shore.  I walked maybe 40 yards or so when i reached a little cove.  Having not seen the bird yet along the rock edge, I scanned further East with my scope.  The first bird i found was a female Bufflehead who was flying out into the bay.  The next bird I found was the young Harlequin.  It was about 5 feet from the rock edge, frequently diving.  It was 125-150 yards East of the inn and parking area.  Great state, county, and year bird!!!
