Ashok and I had many questions at Lake Merritt this morning:
(1) The first and most pressing of which was, "Where is the Tufted Duck?" There had been email reports of Tufted Duck in the week leading up to our visit, but we were unable to locate any Tufted Ducks among what must have been 1,000 scaup on the lake.
(2) Whose feet are these? It's not a really hard quiz for those who have birded around here, especially if you peek at the tail feathers.
(3) What duck is this? I had a diagnosis in mind while I was shooting this ambiguous brown female duck, and the more I looked at it afterwards I realized it was an usual bird.
