[Tweeters] Harlequin Ducks at Seahurst

[Tom Benedict via Tweeters]

This past Friday afternoon my son and I ventured out, hoping to see the regular group of HARD which make the north shore of Seahurst Park their winter home. We found 9 individuals. 3 breeding plumage males, 2 non-breeding males and 4 females. They are such a treat to watch as they dive as a group, then 20-30 seconds later pop up on the surface. Over the years I’ve found that this location is quite reliable for HARD. Another good spot is at Constellation Park, just south of Alki Point in West Seattle.
