"we decided to check out the Colusa NWR.. What an amazing and serendipitous moment
for the two of us who had no idea that this rare and beautiful duck
would cross our paths on that stormy day off a dirt road about 60
miles North of Sacramento."

Birders traveling out of their area can check the bird sighting emails for that state or area by going to their equivalent of TWEETERS at: http:birdingonthe.net click on "Regional/Specialty" under the heading of "Mailing Lists" and then scroll down to find the state or list you are visiting. Or if you are on facebook you can join " ABA Area Rare Birds" and get immediate reports, photos and discussions on rare or out of range birds in North America and Hawaii.
