Thanks to Bob Ekblad, a picture of the Smew has been added the the MOU =
site:
http://biosci.umn.edu/~mou/recent.html
I left Arden Hills to see it at 4:30 pm yesterday and arrived about 6 =
pm. With
the help of a cell phone and directions from Tony Hertzel, I ws able to =
get right
to the bird. It looked like a dirty spot on the ice until I put my =
optics on it.
It sure is a wonderful bird! Very thin and dainty bill.
I've seen a Smew once before. However it was with the help of a video =
camera.
At the wildlife refuge we visited, they had a camera mounted on the top =
of the
blind that we were in. The fellow at the refuge was able to point the =
camera
and zoom in to see the bird. I've had a argument with myself since as =
to if
this is a countable bird. I would count the bird if I walked up to =
someone's
spotting scope and saw a bird. Does the electronic assist change =
things?
Let me know if you have an opinion, privatly. There were a small group =
of Smew
with both males and females. They were seen in Hokido, Japan.
