Hi all,

 even after including rarities I can't find a way to report my sighting of the Harlequin Duck on eBird. 

Help?

Thanks

Ignore my last email. I think eBird was just taking too long for my request but it got it to record the Harlequin.

Thanks everyone who reported it here and the lucky guy who spotted this rarity!!

Around 5pm, I biked the length of the dam trail and all around the marina / picnic area, but dipped on the Harlequin duck. However I did have my FOY water maggots / jet skis 

Good birding,
