"This bird showed up in Concord, NC Nov 12 at the home of Lori Turner and was identified and banded on Nov 19 by Susan Campbell. I took these pictures on Nov 24 with a digital camera through my Kowa scope. This bird constitutes the 8th record for NA and the first outside of Texas." Eric Dean (Eric's website)

Present over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, this bird was responsible for more than a few Thanksgiving dinners ending a little earlier than usual!

This bird has been present for most of the fall and is a good bird for New Mexico birders.
