The very cooperative Harlequin duck seemed to be waiting for admirers  
this morning. Jennifer Kawar and I arrived around 8:45 AM instantly  
found him as he was going out with a few Ruddy ducks and Buffleheads  
and turned around the rocky point. He returned 20 mins later and was  
pointed to us by Elaine Hendricks. Not only is he not shy, he came  
quite near us as I was taking photos! Several other birders including  
Mike Welsh, Anna Urciolo, and others I did not know joined and  
everyone seemed to have a chance to see him. When we left he was  
visible but a bit further under the bridge. Wish they were all that  
easy...

happy birding all,

Evelyn
