This is the most astonishing find in New York State I have ever heard of, in my 30+ years birding. More incredible than say, Gray-hooded Gull, Western Reef Heron, or either of the wagtails. Those were all great finds, but they were on the coast. Bob LewisSleepy Hollow NY

Secondly, I am surprised no one has made comment on this bird. It would as far as I can tell be a first record for New York. The photos are clearly a Gray-crowned Rosy-finch, and the timing is perfect for a vagrant of this species. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
