My recollection is that Jonathan saw the bird a day or so after we did. I also seem to recall that the bird was seen about 3-4 days later as well, you might ask Sherman Suter and Paul Pisano, both of whom looked for it, if either of them observed it. Will look through our notes and see if we can shed any light. We agree origin is the biggest concern, minima being kept in waterfowl collections. An interesting bird nevertheless!
