Made a short trip out to Bluffers Park this afternoon to photograph some ducks and found a strange light phased/morph female mallard? Or? Something?

Birding Bluffer’s Park in Scarborough can be very enjoyable and presents the photographer & bird watcher with plenty of opportunities to photograph shore birds, song birds, herons and migratory waterfowl along the Scarborough Bluffs.
A nesting pair of orchard orioles at Bluffer’s Park and finally some good light! They didn’t seem to mind my presents, especially the female. The male kept his distance sneaking in and out of the trees to get a better look at me and my camera…
Bluffers Park Scarborough (Scarborough Bluffs)
Birding Bluffer’s Park in Scarborough can be very enjoyable and presents the photographer & bird watcher with plenty of opportunities to photograph shore birds, song birds, herons and migratory waterfowl along the Scarborough Bluffs.
In the summer months, visiting the Bluffer’s Park is best done on the weekdays or late afternoon due to crowds and lack of parking. The park was designed for public access to the waterfront along the base of the Scarborough Bluffs at the bottom of Brimley Road (check map for directions). The west ponds offer up all kinds of wildlife including the resident beavers! The path just north of the ponds at the base of the Scarborough Bluffs holds many species of song birds, follow the path west to the waters edge and you will be presented with picturesque view of bluffs meeting Lake Ontario.

Male Goldeneye Duck @ Bluffers Park
March 20th, 2007 by Rob McKay
Today, late afternoon I dropped by Bluffers Park to see if I could find some interesting ducks to watch and photograph. I was lucky to see this male goldeneye duck cruising around the boat launch and got close enough for a few shots, the setting sun made for some great lighting. The goldeneye duck is a beautiful bird, especially the male. They have those piercing yellows eyes.
