Observation details
Kory spotted a very cool BOGU with very dark black wings. We considered LIGU and FRGU for a while before settling on it being a hyper-melanistic BOGU. The other two species would have been nice but this was a great rarity plumage-wise. Darker winged than any photo I’ve ever seen of a melanistic BOGU. It landed on the water briefly too.
