Subject: Birds with "recent" range expansions...

>I'm curious about birds that have undergone recent range
expansions. I believe Patrick and Ruth Sullivan mentioned
yesterday about a Western Scrub Jay near Randle and they
surmised that the bird's appearance in that area might
represent a range expansion...what are some other birds that
come to mind that have undergone either small- or large-scale
range expansions? I can think of a few, such as the Barred
Owl, House Finch, and other obvious candidates...American
Crow, European Starling, and House Sparrow...but I'm sure
there are others. Any thoughts?
