What bird are you not looking for at the moment?

You spelled “Amazing guess!” wrong 🤣

I think you could get to the Falklands more easily: I’ll go with remote south pacific atoll, or somewhere in eastern Indonesia?

Central and South American ports in areas if YH Caracara abundance. To me this bird is a slam-dunk example of a ship assisted vagrant, not an example of increasing northward incursions by the species. I was frankly surprised Swick didn’t even raise that possibility.

These guys seem unlikely to have read widely but I have to wonder if they came across a copy somewhere of The White King of La Gonave by the US Marine, Faustin Wirkus, who “ruled” the island during the US invasion of Haiti 100 years ago.

Fabulous bird!

Oh, you mean “consultants.” Yes, that I would believe.

Cuomo had volunteers?

It’s a very slippery slope

OMG he went birding in Prospect Park!

I think the bill is too big and you can see the black line extending behind the eye. Also field should show chestnut in the face.

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Nap my friend— compare with immature White crowned Sparrow— I do believe that is what you have here!

Just drive from one lifer to the next until you’re home, assuming there are some lower 48 birds out there you haven’t got.
