Re: [BIRDING-AUS] WTP 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.
