Pair of BUFFLEHEADS down on the lake. This is maybe an every-other-year bird
for this lake. But since I never kept records I can't be sure how often they
show up. However I am going to take the liberty of superceding the AOU on
this and split them into 2 species- male and female. They don't look nothing
alike.
 This is often how it used to be done. A lot of females were considered
separate species from their males when the scientifically-challenged
pioneers got here. I say we revive that. It worked for them and I'm sure
they had much bigger lists than we do because of it.
