For those who hadn't heard, a flock of at least 12 migrant songbirds arrived at Kure atoll in the Hawaiian islands this morning. That is big news in itself, but the flock contained at least four Bramblings. The other birds have not yet been identified. So check those little sparrowy birds carefully, especially on the coast with the series of SW fronts coming through. Last week there was a strong NW wind system over the eastern Siberian coast for at least a couple of days. Stuff is movin'. . . Alan Contreras acontrer56@xxxxxxxxx Eugene, Oregon
