Hi,

In the interests of keeping OntBirds subscribers informed, there is a report of a Plumbeous Vireo at Point Pelee. I'm sure most keen Ontario birders already know this. A photo of the bird was first posted on iNat on 3 October as a Blue-headed Vireo but soon corrected to a Plumbeous Vireo.

It was seen again the next day and posted to eBird but not until the following day.

It was not seen again until today (7 October) in the same area (DeLaurier). The record is on discord.

For such a rare bird I'm miffed that this has not been posted to OntBirds. Perhaps this list serve is becoming irrelevant.
