Wasn't there a Hobby in western Washington a couple of years back?

Whites don't breed very far east, but then RT Pipits don't either. There is
apparently an interior route for the pipits, but which breeding ground do they
come from and what route do they take? The map of breeding range doesn't help
much.
All kinds of things are undoubtedly flying over the water out there. Last year
there was a Hobby seen from a ship.

This is true, Alan -
But because White Wagtails and Wheatears breed in Alaska, more interior routes
from them would not be a surprise.
Did you see the Gray Wagtail photo from a Washington pelagic trip this fall? I
think it tells us a lot.

To Dave's note I will add a suggestion that sometimes we are looking in the
wrong place: Most of Oregon's Red-throated Pipit records, half of its White
Wagtail records, a couple of Wheatears and miscellaneous other Asiatic delights
are from the interior, not the outer coast. There is a lot we don't know about
migration routes.

Wayne et al.,
I'm not sure how many Aleutian Cackling Geese stop in Humboldt Co., CA during
their southbound migrations, but I know that tens of thousands build up in the
bottomlands there during late winter/early spring before leaving (often en
masse) for their breeding grounds. As I
