Hi all, Sorry if my email was at all ambiguous yesterday, I certainly did not mean to imply any doubt in the presence of these birds, only that I had not personally seen them but wanted to get the word out to those who hadn't heard. The only one I had seen at that point was what I called a "probable female," only because I hadn't gotten a great look and wasn't sure if anyone else had seen it, but after seeing it again it looks great for a female Hoary. Several other reliable folks got looks at the male Hoary on Tuesday and I believe yesterday as well, as well as the two or more rostrata Commons.
Here are a couple shots of the female Hoary a little before noon yesterday: https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Winter20122013#5837046743855356226 https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Winter20122013#5837046740542652034 https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Winter20122013#5837046740484257202 https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Winter20122013#5837046746606254146 https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Winter20122013#5837046754743758850 https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Winter20122013#5837046753371691938 Haven't heard any reports of these birds yet today, but the flock seems to still be around.
