Fantastic find! Absolutely best bird of the winter. Still present as of this morning.

Thanks for all reply!
It is so lucky for me to find her...

The bird was still present today morning.

BTW, yesterday I wrongly visited pond #20 in the morning from the boardwalk side and there was a group of tufted ducks as well.  Among them, there was one that I think it is a female greater scaup, with a slightly bigger body with a round head, and more importantly the streaked back which was quite different from other female tufted ducks.  But my equipment was too poor to catch a record shot since it was really too far away.

I hope other birders may take a look at it if you're interested.  Thanks.
