Thursday, 1st February, 2018 - 7 Canvasback (w/ 6 bright drakes) photographed on the Hudson River at north section of “Harlem Piers” park, off upper Manhattan a short way north of the western terminus of West 125th St. (were viewed in part from the n. edge of that small park-space); around 3 p.m. - these have been previously seen here also, & it has been a semi-regular site for modest no’s. in mid-winter for the species, which has diminished drastically from NY County (Manhattan) waters in the past 25 years or so. No other were ducks noted, in a fairly brief visit.
