Well, much as I might like to see it, circumstances will prevent me from
chasing the Redwing. However, a few minutes ago I was sitting in front of
the idiot box watching CNN and playing "chase the tennis ball" with my new
puppy and, lo and behold, a banner ran across the bottom of the screen
announcing the Redwing's discovery in Olympia. The only problem I saw: it
was described as this species' first appearance on this continent, whereas I
believe that it is in fact just it's first appearance on this coast. Oh
well, it was still cool to see this event get such coverage.
