NOTE: Frank Mantlik posted the following heads-up on CTBirds.
EXTRALIMITAL EUROPEAN GOLDEN-PLOVER in New Jersey.
On early May, Newfoundland experienced an incredible influx of
European shorebirds including at least 2 Common Redshanks and dozens
of European Golden-Plovers. It stands to reason some might appear in
the U.S. during this current southbound migration. Here's the first
one.
From Mark Danforth:
07/20/14 - Simsbury, Great Pond -- 9:00; Mississippi Kite over north
end of pond for about two minutes, left heading south.
From Carolyn Johns:
07/20/14 - Old Lyme, Rt 156 -- Bobwhite around Noon. Not certain of
ID, but cannot find anything else that resembles the quail like bird
that crossed the road in front of my car.
From Robert Hutton:
07/20/14 - West Haven, Sandy Point -- 1 Black Skimmer.
