Pretty cool!! Thanks, Tim, for sharing. This bird must have wintered
further south -- maybe it's the one that was seen in S. California in the
fall? I think there's a winter record from Baja California, too. A good
reminder that rare stuff like that doesn't only occur in fall.
On a similar note, New Mexico just got its first Northern Wheatear (
http://blog.aba.org/2014/04/abarare-northern-wheatear-new-mexico.html#respond).
Like the Marsh Sandpiper, it probably wintered in this general part of the
world, and is headed back north or just moving around a bit. A sighting
like this might explain Eastern Oregon's June wheatear records.
Lastly, on a more local note, yesterday Barn Swallows and Orange-crowned
Warblers were all over the Corvallis area. Evening Grosbeaks are back, too.
Happy spring,
Adrian
