The BARROW'S GOLDENEYE found by Tom Burke and Gail Benson, and seen by others in the Point South party was in fact a FEMALE, not adult male as I incorrectly stated in the count highlights.
Obviously this is a pivotal detail and would make a big difference to anyone searching for the bird! With luck it will be refound before Tuesday swimming with a small raft of Pintail, Lesser Scaup, King Eider and Pied-billed Grebes ;) My thanks to Andrew Baksh and Taylor Sturm for politely pointing out my error. -- Angus Wilson New York City & The Springs, NY, USA -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
