Birders,

This one sounds worth checking out; fewer than 10 accepted records
for B.C. (and Canada), as Larry says. For Washingtonians who might be
interested, Brackendale is just outside Squamish, about 30 miles
directly north of Vancouver on Highway 99.
Further updates should be available by phoning the Vancouver Rare
Bird Alert at (604) 737-3074.
Please note that Larry's E-mail address will be changing later
today or tomorrow to lawrencecowan at home.com .
