Hi Tweets!
Here are a series of great photos of the male McKay's and probable female McKays' near Iona Jetty in December of 2004. Some think the female is a hybrid.
Ron has re-posted some photos so I suggest you re-study them. Hmmmm...
Don't know if these series of photos will shed any light on the Cameron Lake Rd bird. Kudos to Ron McCluskey for pursuing the challenge of re-locating and photographing the probable bird!!
Don't know if it is the same bird the WOS group located.

Here is a closer look of the female Snow x McKay's hybrid.

Good birding,
