Hi all,

I had this happen to me twice in Michigan when I was just new to birding. I
was looking at my bird book inside my cabin in N. Michigan and said to myself
that the Black and White Warbler would be fun to see! Within minutes there
was one on my deck. Now I know this is not where you usually see them but I
didn't know that at that time.

Later that same year, at my place in lower Michigan I again was looking at my
bird book and at a picture of a Rufous-sided Towhee, and very soon there was
another "lifer" right under my bird feeder. Never saw one in that area after
that.
