This is a putative report and I am only making it to seek any confirmation  
from others.   On Saturday, there were a large number of mallard on  the point 
near the drying mudflats along Dead Creek.   Mixed in with  the mallards were 
some black ducks and one odd duck.  The latter was  smaller than mallard and 
black ducks, had a shorter bluish bill and a  rufous, unmarked head.   Body was 
mostly obscured during  observation.  Tentative ID is Eurasian Wigeon, and 
fall reports are  evidently rare, but I am wondering if others have seen this 
bird and their  impressions regarding ID.
 
Good birding.
