Media notes
The "good" MEDU
Observation details
***rare, ~3rd ebird record for county. With group of hybrids, possible hybrids, and probably 3 more pure MEDUs, then moved to mixed group of males. Perfect male MEDU, with body much darker than MALL (darker than the hybrids and other probably MEDUs too). Outer tail feathers warm brown without a hint of white edging typical of near-pure birds. No sign of reddish breast (although not all MALLs clearly showed that either). Bill clean yellow-olive. In large pond SW of building. Some OK pics obtained, best viewing was just before I had to clear out for a tournament
