First-winter bird in an exclusive locality - surely an excellent candidate for natural vagrancy. Well done Bruce M. First record for North America (although Bruce suggests there have been previous records of escapes)

Enough so for Sibley to include it on his page of escaped ducks (Sibley North American Bird Guide p. 89)
