Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula): Accidental in Fall, Winter (with one record in each season), and Spring (two records)

Apparently three records from the region - missing a Fall record from Petersburg?

Southeast Alaska Quarterly Bird Report Mentions (2008-2018, Heinl and Piston)

Sp2011 A drake was a nice find amongst 1,000 Surf Scoters and other waterfowl gathered to feed on spawning Eulachon at Mud Bay, near HNS, 9 May 2011. There were only two prior SEAK records of this Eurasian species; although it is a rare to fairly common spring migrant in the western Aleutians (Gibson and Byrd 2007), it is a rare, irregular winter visitant along the Pacific Coast south of Alaska (Campbell et al. 1990a, Marshall et al. 2003, Wahl et al. 2005, Hamilton et al. 2007).
