Great find.
I have been looking for this duck for at least a month, from when it was first spotted at Humber Bay.
Now its in a park 5 minutes from my house and I STILL can't find it.
Congrats to you, the photos are wonderful!

Meghan, I have heard from a few people that the ones at Humber Bay and Saddington Park are two different groups of Harlequins.

Is it true? I don't know.
