Yesterday, I had a bird on the East Pond that I spent some time debating on the species type. It looked like a molting adult Baird's but not having ever seen one in this plumage in the field I was not sure.
After spending some time reviewing photos I took yesterday, I began leaning towards Baird's. I threw photos up this morning on my blog in the hopes of getting some feedback. I am right now on the East Pond with Isaac Grant looking at the bird; Isaac thinks that the bird looks very much like an adult molting Baird's. If this is indeed an adult Baird's, I think it would be a rare one for the East Pond. Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
