"Nemesis birds" shared by birders in last 24 hours: * Connecticut Warbler * Burrowing Owl * Pectoral Sandpiper * Saw-whet Owl * GWF Goose * YB Cuckoo * Purple Finch * Lapland Longspur * Sabine's Gull * Pileated Woodpecker * Ruff * Harpy Eagle * Spruce Grouse * Painted Bunting * Boreal Owl * Henslow's Sparrow * Boreal Chickadee.
Note that the degree of rarity varies. In one case, a nemesis took 30 years to find (guess which one). Others are still being chased after 10-14 years. The stories have been great! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
