Baer's Pochard
Hi,
I am curious as to what people are seeing when they
say "it was there".
Is the bird we are looking for in full plumage as some
reports have suggested or is the bird in rather worn moult as others have
suggested. I am just curious as I am planning to go down and look again this weekend.
Last weekend I thought I saw it in the early morning
light but as the sun rose and the cloud moved over, the bird seemed to morph
from a Baer's with glossy russet breast and strongly demarkated glossy
black/green head into a strongly marked Hardhead in new solid russet brown
plumage.
thanks
Jen

It was there at 0745 this morning on the rock in Lake
Borrie in full sun -
just
preening itself.
