Garganey are regular migrants in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska, but very rare anywhere else in Canada or the US.
When this drake Garganey showed up in spring in New Jersey, it was immediately put on the Rare Bird Alert!
This drake Garganey was photographed in May 1997 at Brigantine NWR, New Jersey, USA.
