Kamon Farm Conservation Area (ECGA), Essex, Massachusetts, US Apr 21, 2024 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM Protocol: Stationary Checklist Comments: Party size estimated, as there were at least 50 birders there when I arrived. We were all there to see a drake GARGANEY in breeding plumage--a stunning bird. It was in a shallow, grassy pool on the south side of the road, and was with a pair of blue-winged teal and 3 green-wings. The pronounced white eyeline and the light blue sides outlined in white make this a beautiful bird. Dozens of others photographed it during the day as well as when I was there. This is my 2nd garganey for the county; I saw an im. male on PI on June 24, 1985, a bird that remained for over a month. 9 species
