    Hi all: 
    
    When the hybrid reports came in, I remembered Rich
    Stallcup had reported a hybrid from Lake Merritt last
    winter. I did a brief unsuccessful search of the
    archives last week.
    
    Today a different search yielded a photo of Rich's
    bird 
    on petrels.com.  
    www.petrels.com/duck1.htm
    
    The rarity of the hybrid would lead one (well, me
    anyway) to strongly consider that it's the same bird a
    year later.  Migrating north and south with the same
    goldeneyes.  Comparing last year's and this year's
    photos may (or may not) be instructive.
    
    Good Birding,
    Bob Power
