Back in the '90s a Spotted Redshank showed up in Brooklyn in a marina during the winter which I was able to see nicely. The question is there were two or three Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks with the Redshank and a few yellowlegs and I was wondering if the ducks were accepted or not? I don't remember anyone mentioning them when the redshank was there:-( Of course now most Black-bellieds are accepted, but what about back in the 90's? Inquiring minds want to know:-) Thanks much.
