Field Marks and Identifying Characteristics: |
This bird hung around through the end of November maybe into December. I
reported it on ebird and over the next month and a half I believe more than 20
people photographed and reported the bird themselves. I returned and saw the
bird about 5 or 6 times or the time period. In that time period I watched in
change from a 50/50 summer winter plumage mix too full winter plumage. I will
send the photos I took on the first sighting to Milton Moody. (see photos) |
