All:

Had to be in Dartmouth, so took a quick look at the "beach" of Bisset Lake in
Cole Harbour, where there was a group of 8 Lesser Scaup in the fog.

At Sullivan's Pond, I saw the quite bright rufous wigeon, clearly a Eurasian,
that had been photographed in recent days by both Lucas Berrigan and Bernard
Burke. Can't quite figure out yet if it's going to turn into a male or a female
in its winter (basic, but bright) plumage. There are probably plumage details
to address the problem.

Cheers, Ian
