Extralimital Note: Sadly, the Ivory Gull was not seen to day in NY (so
please keep your eyes open)!  In fact, keep your eyes open for
anything, as there are vagrants all over the place.  One example,
pointed out by Julian Hough on the CTBirds list today, is a Scott's
Oriole in Pennsylvania - a first record for PA and not a bird that has
ever been seen in CT.  In particular, WATCH THOSE FEEDERS!

And now for my daily advertisement for the CTBirds list.   8-)
