Hi folks,

Just saw this following note on BirdChat. I can't help the gentleman; can some of y'all from up north do so? (and, please share with Tweeters? - I didn't know that there was a "Blue Rock Thrush" Monticola solitarius in the area.... though I *did* get to see the Dusky Thrush, Turdus naumanni)

I am checking on the status of the following rare birds (possible 1st North
American records) seen in British Columbia in the last few years.

1) Have they been voted on and, if so, what was the vote.

2) If they haven't been voted on what is your best guess on the validity of
the sighting, and why.

Blue Rock Thrush

any others?

Thank you for your assistance. Please email me directly (or in addition to
the list).
