RE: Broadwings in Conway




On the subject of the Broad-wingeds in Conway, let me add my two cents.  My
husband came home today and told me about a sighting he had had on the way
home from work today.  He described, with convincing details, a Broad-winged
Hawk.  While my husband is not the birder in the family, he has accompanied
me to many hawk-watchs. He knows his hawks well enough to spot and name an
immature (first year - all dark) Bald Eagle.

And a second report of a Waterthrush from the coast?

I wonder if perhaps we were looking in the wrong direction for the irruption
this year.  Rather than high numbers of northern finches, we seem to have at
least a small number of oddball neo-tropical migrants instead.
