Piebald honker

This guy showed up yesterday with the regulars in the pond at my house.

Out of the many thousands I have this is the first piebald.

Wow. Unreal

That is amazing!! So cool you got a pic.

 

[punchy]

That’s sweet
It will be cool to get a band on that one and see where he ends up.

Great to see a rare bird like that.

About 10 years ago, I saw two of these sitting with a small flock in one of the little ponds off I-80 near the Wasatch Hill. I thought maybe I was crazy, because i’d never heard of or seen once before or since, until this picture.
The one looked about like that, the other had more white on his head and neck.

It also has white bars on it’s wings.
