[Maine-birds] Hybrid duck in Sagadahoc County

Good Afternoon Maine Birders,

I pulled into the parking lot at the Taste of Maine restaurant in Woolwich an hour ago for a quick scan of Pleasant Cove of the Sasanoa River. The tide was still fairly high but falling. Close to shore was an impressive concentration of dabblers, primarily Green-winged Teal (~300!). Among them was a drake oddity, which to my eye fit nicely as a Northern Pintail and American Wigeon hybrid -- neat looking bird. I seem to recall a hybrid here in the past so perhaps this is a returning bird.

I took some distant images, which I will eventually upload to eBird.

Best,

Eric
