Ochsner Park Zoo Platypus in Baraboo River?

[Chlidonias]

I remember birding in Norfolk and seeing a distant long-tailed duck on a pool by the sea. It was only when another birder with a scope pitched up that it was revealed as a dead herring gull...

I once mistook a small black rabbit as a blackbird.

David Sibley (the author of The Sibley Guide to Birds, the most popular North American bird field guide) wrote about how he once misidentified a Great Egret as a Loggerhead Shrike.

It likely would have been around the 1940s or 50s. Many circuses would have been active in Baraboo at the time.

Baraboo has a circus museum! But from my newspapers it seems like there was only one platypus couple in New York at the time

Baraboo's history with circuses is the only reason I even bothered to ask this question.
