Astounding! That's about 3 miles from the location where a Gray Kingbird was found around this time of year in 1987 (23 years ago), and under similar circumstances. I recall former basin birder Dick Evans telling me that someone had reported one and none from local birding community followed up on it thinking it was likely a mistaken ID, as is frequently the case with this species. Then finally three weeks later it was found for many to see.
What a treat for folks attending the NYSOA meeting in nearby Auburn, NY. I wonder if the meeting's paper session started on time this afternoon? ;) Bill E ---------------------------------------- From: 6072292...@vtext.com Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2010 12:14 PM To: cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu Subject: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne Spoor Rd & Seneca St by Dominic Sherony --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
