You raise a good point, Ruth. The first Sharp-tailed was sighted Oct
4-6, then another on Oct 18-19, and now one on Nov 1. All sightings
exactly two weeks apart, at exactly the same place. Of course we'll
never know if it is the same bird, but it makes you wonder. Or is this
just a function of weekend birding?

I think I'll take another look about Nov 15th --
