[nysbirds-l] molting Gadwall photo

[Ardith Bondi]

For anyone who hasn't had a good view of an extensive summer wing molt 
in a Gadwall, I happened to capture this in Central Park on the 
Reservoir last week. I have known about this, but haven't had a duck 
flap nicely right in front of my camera showing all the pin feathers. 
Talk about a "sitting duck"
