[EBB Sightings] tufted duck and redhead at Lake Merritt

Several Barrow's Goldeneyes and one male Hooded Merganser have been in 
the channel immediately downstream from Lake Merritt (beteen 12th and 
10th, next to the Kaiser Convention Center) and more Barrow's have been 
in the section between 10th and 7th, but I haven't seen the hybrid in a 
couple of searches this past week.
