Thanks for the report Angus Mr. Williams was certainly quite detailed and excited about his find (rightfully so) but perhaps a wee bit hyperbolic:
“My heart jumped”; “I was . . . freaking out” ; “My heart just about leapt out of my chest”; “My fingers went slightly tingly”; “***Mega” L Trachtenberg Ossining (Not coastal so not expecting yellow-green vireo). P.s. As to birds, Croton Point did have a Dickcissel on Sunday (I saw) and a Nelson’s sparrow last week (I didn’t) From: bounce-124025205-26736...@list.cornell.edu <bounce-124025205-26736...@list.cornell.edu> On Behalf Of Angus Wilson Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2019 3:32 PM To: NYSBIRDS-L <NYSBIRDS-L@cornell.edu> Subject: [nysbirds-l] [Extralimital] Yellow-green Vireo in MA -CAUTION: EXTERNAL EMAIL On 15 Oct 2019, a YELLOW-GREEN VIREO was trapped twice at the Lighthouse on Monomoy Island, Cape Cod. There are very few prior records from the East Coast, although one was trapped on 5 Sep 2011 at Plum Island MA. There is also a Bermuda record from 6 Oct 1992. There are at least two records from Cape May, New Jersey, one from 26 Sep 2018 and the other 23 May 2019. Definitely something we should be watching for in coastal New York, both in the spring (May) and in the fall (Sep/Oct)!
