For anyone who hasn't already heard there is a Common Shelduck near Boston that 
is probably wild.  Some people on the MA list are talking about other reports 
that were blown off cause of the remote possibility of them being escapes 
and why they were not given a closer look.  It's to bad the one that was at 
Jamaica Bay about 10 years ago wasn't scrutinized more.  In my opinion it was 
probably a wild bird since it was immaculate and had no bands on it's legs.
