Canvasback

Hey so what do we have here? It’s called a Canvasback Duck. There are apparently three hanging around the area, two males and one female. This seems to be one of the males, in eclipse colours.

This is a lifer for me, but I’m told by birders of yore that they used to be a bit more plentiful around here — though still uncommon compared to other ducks.
