The drake on Nantucket continues through at least its third consecutive winter on the island. A female/immature bird which appeared for a couple of days in Andover in mid-January appeared to be the same one observed near Christmastime in North Reading, and probably the same seen in Peabody around Thanksgiving. These two were joined by another adult male which was found in Harwich on January 17 by Mary Jo Foti; it remained in that area for at least a month. Chris Floyd took the photo above.</p>
