Just some interesting information....
In the past few weeks I have seen three separate reports of Northern
Wheatears showing up.... The first was somewhere in Canada far south of
where it would be expected. I don't recall much about that sighting.
The next two are the ones that really intrigue me. One was recently
spotted in Vermont and has been seen consistently for many days there.
And just yesterday, someone spotted one, in all locations, the
EVERGLADES in FLORIDA????!?!? So maybe we'll have some good fortune and
one of these wandering Wheatears (I can't imagine that there aren't more
of them wandering south if 3 have already been seen significantly south
of normal ranges) might wander into our lovely state. Wheatears pattern
of vagrancy is generally along the eastern coast during fall migration,
however ya never know where one might stray next...
Keep your eyes open for bizarre thrushes this fall....
