On a trip to Churchill, Manitoba, we visited the taiga at the edge of the
boreal forest.
We found a yellowlegs in a treetop, calling because we were near its nest,
while below it on the ground, foraging for berries in the low bushes were
Bohemian Waxwings.
Every other time I've seen these two species the waxwings are in the trees
and the yellowlegs on the ground.

Hi All,
With all of the wonderful rarities people have been reporting I was
wondering about reports people have of common birds in rare places. A month
or so ago someone mentioned a Wandering Tattler in a driveway in the valley.
My own best is a White-Breasted Nuthatch in a flock of red-breasted
nuthatches at 5K+ feet in the high cascades of Douglas County in a lodgepole
pine forest.
Can anyone top mine? How about the tattler? Let me and others know!
