And in the interest of keeping this relevant to current sightings, the East Shore Park Harlequin was still present as of early afternoon today, still hanging with Mallards and Buffleheads on the north side of the park, sometimes quite close to shore.

I’ve added a screen shot from that 1995 Kingbird page to the dropbox link below. It would be great to figure out a way to enter these sightings into eBird as historical Cayuga Lake Basin records…all original observers of both historical sightings are (sadly) deceased (McIlroy, et. al., and Prentiss).
