I was thinking this myself. The descriptions that I got from Steve and
Steve, were much different from Nigel, Mike, and Jim. Besides the bird
that Nigel watched flying off in the sunset, was different from the bird
that Steve Pink reported the next day.

I question, though, as Mike Price did, weather or not a bird in juvinale
plumage would be around now.

I guess stranger things have happend.
