Hi All:

Some of you may be aware of a discussion concerning 'short-tufted' Tufted
Ducks on the Frontiers list. Mike Patten and I are trying to locate
pictures of adult male Tufted Ducks photographed on the West Coast between
January and April. I have identified 2 or 3 sources in OR but no more. Can
you help in BC or WA. Ideally the photos should show the tuft length well.

There is some concern on out part that short-tufted Tufted Duck are
proportionately far too common, at least in CA, compared to Europe and Asia.

Thanks, Nick
