[birdky] Re: RPT: Update on Harlequin Duck ... no more sightings :o(

Can someone explain how this duck arrived here? I have very poor photos of a 
pair that I took at Glacier NP in Montana a couple of years ago and everyone 
was excited to see them there.  Do these ducks (and other birds not common to 
this area) get caught up in winds of a weather front or what?

However, that would not explain the roseate spoonbill seen in Eastern KY last 
year or other rare bird sightings in the area.

  I received a few emails late yesterday and this morning asking if I ever 
heard any more about the Harlequin Duck search. I know that the Bells & Hubers 
looked around until early afternoon and that Kathy & Joe Caminiti visited New 
Richmond for awhile mid- to late afternoon without luck. Eddie reported seeing 
only a few common waterbirds and nothing else unusual while they were in the 
area.

  Hopefully the bird will show up again; I'm sure at least the local birders 
will be out and about this week.

  Matt Stickel did get out on the river at Louisville yesterday and reported a 
pretty decent variety of diving ducks including the two White-winged Scoters.
