Ducks, Harlequin--1st year male and female's (11-25-2011)

The first year male and female Harlequin Duck's molt is continuing to come along nicely.
The carmine red coloring on the male is developing on the sides of the crown of the head and on the flanks. The blue-gray coloring on the head, back and the white facial crescent is gaining strong definition. The shoulder crescents are also developing nicely.

Good job of documenting the molt. Harlequins are extremely rare in my area but we get one or two a year.
