Seen today (2 pm) at Squaw Creek: Single dark puddle duck consorting with snow geese at SW end of main refuge pool. Mallard size. Totally dark bill. Upper body dark brown, lower body chestnut color. Green speculum and green uppertail coverts. Legs either dark yellow with black spots (like a gadwall) or orange. Dark eyes, possibly red. Any ideas? Perhaps Tommie Rogers has seen it?? Dipped on the Cinnamon Teal. Eagle was standing on the edge of the nest -- possible babies?
