Observation details
great views and photos along with 8-10 other people, has been around a couple weeks, body and gr/med covert molt obvious (pinfeathers) -> likely staying until molt completed? Pyle says 1st PB molt on summer or winter grounds while ads usually on summer grounds. This bird has been reported as HY, which I guess is by the lack of rich orange in head and breast. Flight shot showing brown rump (maybe a tinge of orange?) also probably supports this since adults have orange rump according to Sibley. Earlier pics from other people show more fine streaking than was visible when we saw it, at least partially since the bird was fairly wet. My first since summer 2006 in MN! Pics will be at www.flickr.com/photos/rjm284
