Cobirders,
I thought I would point out that Steve M’s Mottled Duck would be the first record with supporting documentation resulting in the species being added to the state list if it is ultimately accepted by the CBRC. Maybe it is just the overwhelming number of mega-rarities in recent months, but this bird so far seems to be fairly low on the ol’ buzz meter. Hopefully, someone will get out and find this bird again to further document it and confirm that it is still around for all of the working stiffs that cannot get out there mid-week.
I think this bird would technically be listed second in the records because there may be a single person sighting without photos tucked away in Faulkner’s sock drawer that would slot in front of this record. Either way, great find Mr. Mlodinoffski!
Good birding,
Steve Stachowiak
