My birding site was rather odd this morning, the Boulder County Wastewater Treatment Plant. I was surveying waterfowl that were using the different tanks at the facility. In a tank that had only Mallards and American Widgeon, I had a long look at a bird with a rusty head and a wide green swath of an eyeband, no baldpate, although slightly lighter forehead like an adult nonbreeding male AMWI. The band was similar to that of a Green-winged Teal. The plumage on the body was similar to that of an AMWI, but more mottled with some gray in it. It flushed with the rest of the AMWI. Hmmmmmm.................
