The accentor covers a large-ish area in the trees and bushes around the house at the end of the road. Sometimes it may be seen a considerable distance away - the furthest trees behind the house and field definitely requiring a scope (that's where I got my first look at it). At other times, it may turn up in a tree right by the roadside. If you need the closer look, you may have to wait longer to get it, there are no guarantees on where it will pop up at any given time.

Subject: [Tweeters] Siberian Accentor?



Hi Tweeters,



I'm considering driving down from Seattle tomorrow to chase the Siberian Accentor. Is the bird in a location where I'll need a spotting scope or will I be able to ID with my 10x42 binoculars? I don't own a scope and didn't want to make the drive if it was going to be impossible to see it from the road with binoculars. Thanks!
