Re: Tufted duck



	
I would imagine local birder Jeff Lewis has looked for the duck, and having 
heard nothing, I suspect he hasn't located it. I will probably take a 
gander this weekend. If there is one in the area of Jockey's Ridge, it 
could easily be an escapee. A local restaurant owner lives nearby in Nags 
Head Woods, and he keeps a number of exotic and non-local ducks at his 
residence. Also, Barrier Island Station in Kitty Hawk, and large condo 
project in Kitty Hawk Woods keeps a lot of non-local ducks in their pond. 
It was this place that was the origin of the black-bellied duck that showed 
up in Wanchese a couple of years ago.

I haven't asked either owner if they are missing a Smew that might have 
ended up in MO!
