@John - They are very rare this ...Thanks everyone!<br /><br />@John - They are very rare this late into the spring. I believe this is the 2nd record after April 1 in the last 50 years. It's entirely possible that this bird got lost in fall migration and somehow survived the winter nearby, but it's also possible that it's an unusual spring migrant. I don't know enough to say one way or the other.Patrick B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09080082715363887351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-67671018421918201332009-04-15T15:57:00.000-04:002009-04-15T15:57:00.000-04:00Congrats on the sighting!Congrats on the sighting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-28180858029905271472009-04-15T11:07:00.000-04:002009-04-15T11:07:00.000-04:00I finally saw one last March in Central Park.
