Hi All, Reid and I got the following message from Kim Gerety last evening, and Kim asked if I would pass it along to the list serve. They saw the bird on June 30. Below is part of Kim's message to us about the bird, with a link to a photo of the bird they took. Kim apologized for the quality of the photo as it was taken out through the windshield. Pam Allen West Des Moines, IA "...We saw a Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) yesterday evening at Bays Branch. I didn't think it was a biggie, but I wonder if it is. I just checked ebird and there have been absolutely NO sightings reported for June and July. I also checked the late dates on the IOU site and the very latest was 17 June 1978.
