Started the morning at Pier 94 and Heron's Head with an unsuccessful search for the Harlequin Duck, but there was a skittish female CANVASBACK in the Hansen pond at Pier 94 that took off as soon as I tried to get closer to take a photo through the chain link fence. A number of both male and female RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS were also at Pier 94, and the males were singing loudly. At Heron's Head a PELAGIC CORMORANT was already starting to turn into alternate plumage. Moving on to Lake Merced, there were 8 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE swimming west of the wooden bridge, and a TOWNSEND'S x HERMIT WARBLER was at the north end of the bridge.
