Tufted Duck - Burnaby Lake, BC
A rare visitor from way across the big pond was visiting Burnaby Lake. It would seem that this drake had an affection for one of the female Scaup feeding along Eagle Creek on Piper Spit and gave amazing views and photo opportunities. This feather-headed Tufted Duck is usually found in Europe and Asia but usually once a year we have a visitor on either coast of North America that made its way across the land bridge and flew south on an alternate continent.
