September 10th, 2005. Monterey, California.
Harlequin Duck  Histronicus histronicus.
We were lucky to spot this lingering female Harlequin as we pulled out of the harbor for the pelagic trip. Although it wouldn’t be that unusual in winter, this was the first time that we’d recorded this species on a September itinerary.
Images taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through 10x42 Leica binoculars.
