>From Russell Rogers, Seattle WA, rrogers at halcyon.com

Jerry Tangren stated that there were numberous records from North
America. Actually, numberous may be the wrong word. This, I think, is
only the 15th or maybe the 16th documented record for the lower 48. That
is a good indication of what a good rarity this is.

I dont know if my posting got out on Tuesday or not, but 7 other birders
and myself saw the bird then. I highly reconmend that anyone that can
take the time and go see this bird. It is well worth the trouble.
