Your "Add an image" link does not work, so I will include links to a couple of my photos on Flickr.

Phil, I have sent this report on to ODFW for confirmation, but since you have photographed these birds, could I ask you to upload one or more pictures? Thank you, and I will get back to you upon ODFW confirmation.

The submit image function is still not working. This time I was able to select my image but every time I clicked the submit button the file disappeared. I do have 5-6 photos. Let me know how you want me to get them to you. Or I can send you links to the photos on Flickr or as they occur in my eBird checklists.

Hi Phil, no need to send the photos. I just got the response back from ODFW - they are aware of the existence of these birds, and are working on it. Thanks so much for your report! We rely tremendously on reports like yours to prevent the introduction and establishment of invasives in the Pacific Northwest.
