Observation details

photo: I think I really photoed it this time :) - new Central Oregon bird, new Deschutes Co. bird no. 249 : female, reported here since 4-days ago, found by PL & LR: at back pond all this morning swimming all over east and center of pond : very easy to see all morning: this bird does not come up Rare *, but this is the first one I've had in county in slightly more than 3-years of active birding: today is the first decent view I have ever had of a female of this species , and I am relieved that I don't think it would be possible - given a decent view that is, and not one of my really bad photos - for me to confuse it with a Common :) - (I'll have to see if that holds as true when I next see COME again): I tried to take similar shots today as I did 3-days ago, merganser with wigeon, and backside view of merganser; * on mobile device it doesn't come up Rare, but on big computer main page, now it does, maybe filter just switched?
