Birders, A first for me, what appears to be a Northern Shoveler x Blue-winged Teal is on Swan Lake this morning. Here's a photo of it and a standard shoveler. http://www.flickr.com/photos/87951394@N07/8599867463/in/photostream Any other thoughts of it being something else? I digiscoped it with a Nikon EDG VR 85mm scope with a DSLR attachment and a D50 body, zoomed to about 800mm. It was amongst thousands of other ducks and geese, comprising 20+ species.
