Tonight I finally got the time to go see it. It is still in the same area it has been reported. Fortunately, Kim and Cindy Risen were right there with another nice couple from Alaska to help me find it about 6:30pm. The bird eventually flew from the canal / ditch North of Abel Rd and meandered a bit before it was lost in the marsh there near a pair of Ring-necked ducks. After striking out on the Eurasian Widgeon three times, it was nice to get this lifer easily on the first try! -- Sincerely, Jim Ryan Saint Paul's Westside ---- Measure yourself by your best moments, not by your worst.
