timlawsonDescription
"Spotted a bald eagle flying low over the water towards a large rock just offshore. The bird dropped the Booby on the rock. It was scared off by walkers on the shore. A second eagle then picked up the Booby and carried it inland. I sent the images to Bob Boekelheide. In turn he sent them to Dan Waggoner and other members of the rare bird committee of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society. They identified it as a Brown Booby "

Shovelers and Allies (Genus Spatula)Observer
lovebirderDescription
the eBird reviewer for this region is saying that this is a Northern Shoveler. I've never seen one with a red head. Could this be a hybrid NOSHxCITE or an alternate plumage for NOSH? He said the 2 females that were with it were CITE. Also, the male duck in question has an orange-red eye vs the yellow eye of the normal NOSH.
Observation for female CITEs: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/38738339
Update: I posted additional photos here and on eBird and the reviewer agrees it is a strange bird. He is reaching out to some duck hybrid folks about it.
2/20/2020: the eBird reviewer, Steve Cardiff, has consulted with 2 hybrid duck experts and they say this is a hybrid Northern Shoveler × Cinnamon Teal.
