Good points I never thought about. I wonder if this is detailed on ebird as
to what we should do. Where would one draw the line with say northern
bobwhites vs mandarin ducks? What gets reported?

I meant the original email for people who might "chase" without knowing. I
enjoy the peafowl at Mildred Kanipe Park, but I don't "list" them, nor post
them to obol or ebird them any more than I would something at a Zoo. No
disrespect against the bird itself intended.

Sure - enjoy a very attractive bird. I agree that this bird has to be an
escapee. It is not a species that could reasonably be expected to occur
here as a vagrant.

Even an escapee, in my opinion as a birder, is definitely worth a look!
Thanks for sharing!
