Hi Birders
I want to thank all the people who kept reporting this or I wouldn’t have had the gumption to drive all the way up there to see this bird. I was exactly where it was reported several times before just south of Able and west of county road F in the eastern most channel. We first saw it at around 10 a.m. swimming with Blue winged teal, male and female, and a northern shoveler. We got some shots then i later realized that my camera had been set at a way too high iso so we went back an hour later and he was still in the same channel there. I also got a video . You can see some shots and the video at my flickr link below
Again thank you all for this service.
