North; Feb. 23 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I was with the ANS/MOS group who first spotted this bird on Saturday. Chuck Studholm and Paul Dumont called it as a male because of this white bill band, although the rest of the bird was the coloration and pattern of a female. The other speculation was that it was a hybrid. So this information, Ric, is useful.
