Tim Lenz, Hope Batcheller, and I are on our way up the lake, but thought I'd mention that in addition to a transitional HORNED GREBE, an odd female-type RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, and a Bald Eagle, we found a presumed HYBRID RING-NECKED DUCK x SCAUP sp. at Stewart Park just now. This is an awesome bird, with pale gray sides and only the ghost of the Ring-necked white shoulder mark, dark gray (not quite black) back, peaked head, and ringed bill. It's hanging out with three Greater Scaup. I'll post poor photos later, but worth a look if you can and enjoy that kind of thing.
