I had a comment/question on the kingbird comment. Somebody correct me if
I'm wrong,it sure wouildn't be a first :). Isn't it more likely to have a
Tropical type Kingbird up here at this late date than a Western?

I also have an observation on the Dotterel:
The pics are very nice but its nothing like the thrill of seeing such a
nice bird in person. But isn't the hunt of tracking down a rarity part of
the fun? Good luck to those looking tomorrow and over the weekend.
