Observation details
Continuing, photos. Thanks to Dan Keller for locating this bird on 24 November. This adult female was first noted here five years ago 25 January 2018 and it has returned every winter since. She can be difficult to pick out when her head is tucked and sleeping. Notice the faint purple gloss to her head which is usually a male characteristic. Although still a rarity in California, this Eurasian species is no longer reviewed by the California Bird Records Committee.
