View obstructed. Bird seemed to be high in the canopy of ponderosa pines. Migrating through?
Kinda baffled by this duck. It was definitely a diving duck (I even got a few shots of it beginning to dive), and its shape looks like a Redhead, Ring-necked Duck, or Scaup, but I could not make sense of the plumage.
Juvenile(?) heavy streaking on chest
Note smudge around eye and streaking on chest. Could be Herring I have zero experience telling the two juvenile birds apart.
