| Gray-cheeked Thrush, Southeast Farallon Island, CA |
Dan Maxwell seems to have the uncanny ability to walk up to a mist net and find a rare bird. First the Arctic Warbler and yesterday a Gray-cheeked Thrush. Sure, the second is incomparable to the first, but it is still a great bird, and a review list species for the California Bird Records Committee. We also had Black-throated Green Warbler yesterday, though never caught it. Both of these vagrants from the east are quite rare on the island.

| Should have made it a Photo Quiz – too late. |
That quiz wouldve been easy!
ReplyDeleteGCTH is a goddamn good bird...I have bird envy. How many have I seen in California? None. How many have I seen in my life? One. Hopefully I'll see some more in Florida next week. BTNW ain't bad either...who found it? Theres no glory in finding a rare bird stuck in a net.
I found the BTNW! My first rarity I identified in Cali!
