I don't know what the final determination about the Abert's Towhee
was--that is a bird without any history at all of vagrancy.
Phainopeplas are indeed found normally in the Southwest, like the towhee,
but unlike the towhee, there are several records of Phainopeplas wandering
widely--vagrants have
Isn’t this another example of the person who brings southwestern birds up to NE
Mn; wasn’t there another bird from the SW seen similar to this a few months
ago?? If that is the case, how does MOU and eBird handle artificial
introductions?

Yes thanks Mike for your update--I too saw the phainopepla over the noon
hour in the motel grounds, flycatching from the crab apple tree and dead
spruce, behaving just like the waxwings who I understand are its distant
cousins. Likely this was a young bird that decided to wander northward.
On Mon,
A big thank you, Michael, from one who benefited from your spotting the
bird!

I observed the Phainopepla today at 10:22 at 5127 old north shore drive and
also can be found next door at the old Beachway Motel. Other birders here
as well. --

Any idea why this bird is not reaching my daily eBird ABA rarity notice? I’ve
noticed this before. Fully expected a first ever sighting in MN to reach the
daily ABA rarity list.
