Dear Tweeters, Today, 12 April 2026, I found a strange duck. I think it was a Common Goldeneye hybrid. My best guess was COGO X Hooded Merganser, but I think that it might possibly be a COGO X Bufflehead. I put "off-topic" in the subject line, because the bird is not in the PNW; it was in Western New York. Here is the link to the eBird checklist:
Checklist S320862904
This was at the eBird hotspot called "Chautauqua--WMA Cheney Farm." I'd love to hear any thoughts about the ID of this odd duck. It was with a flock of Common Goldeneyes.
