Harlequin Duck, CBC 12/12/13,

At the beginning of today's frigid, snowy New Haven CBC,  as we started out with Frank Mantlik at Merwin Point we all spotted a small duck very close to the shore.  After some initial confusion, Frank said, Harlequin Duck."  As so she was.  A few record shots below as she came out of the water and stood on the rocks.
