[Tweeters] Everett STP Tufted Duck

[Matt Dufort]

Hi all,

Based on photos, there are actually two birds present. One appears to be a
pure (or close to pure) Tufted Duck, with black back and thin wispy tuft.
The other looks like a Tufted Duck x scaup hybrid, with dark gray back and
stubby tuft. There are photos in eBird of both birds from today, November
26. Some of the eBird reports from today now identify the second bird as a
hybrid.

Photos of the pure-looking individual:

Photos of the apparent hybrid:

I went looking this afternoon and did not see either bird. With so many
ducks there, I suspect there are other interesting birds among the huge
flocks.

Good birding,
Matt Dufort
