I had a beautiful adult male harlequin duck on the lake at my North Perry house. The bird was with a small group of common goldeneye from about 7:50-7:55. The flock then headed west. I was able to get some very distant shots of the bird and will post them somewhere later today. Most of the birds you see here are young birds. You don't see many adult birds. The lake is ice-free here and there are decent numbers of ducks moving.
