[CT Daily] 04/03/2008 BULLOCK'S ORIOLE

[Roy Harvey]

Note 1: Mark Szantyr has raised some questions about the possibility
that the Bullock's Oriole might be a hybrid.  You can read his message
on CTBirds.

Note 2: In past years this daily rare bird report included migration
notes at certain seasons.  Since anyone who is interested can find
this information on CTBirds in much greater detail, I don't plan on
doing that this season.  To get the full picture you need to read
CTBirds.
