New Lake, Woodbury County, 14-Apr-2012 am An apparent Mottled Duck female was at New Lake along the Port Neal Power Plant entrance road. The bird exhibited an unmarked yellow-green bill, a head/neck that contrasted with the darker brown and black body, a buffy face and foreneck with gape spot. A distant photo was taken. The bird took flight while I was preparing to move to a nearer vantage point; I did not see the speculum.
