Observation details
***mega; continuing bird found by Bette Robo a few days ago and now representing the state’s first-ever for February (just three prior records, including the May-June Worcester record which could possibly represent this same bird). Apparent adult with moderate ferrous staining on the neck and head. Bill entirely black (no hint if yellow in the lores) with black completely surrounding front of eye. Forehead feathering N obvious “V”. Very large size and particularly large, black feet with no bands and the halux intact on both feet. Quite vocal with nasal “honks” delivered in sequence several times and a later sequence of softer, lazier "weang" calls, with good audio of the former and poor audio of the latter. Audio and photos.
