Re: [cobirds] What's the deal on this rare Red-flanked Bluetail in nearby Wyoming?

[Ira Sanders]

Ben, et al,
Cody Porter's neighbors were nothing but welcoming and friendly during the
2 days I was in Laramie looking for the bird. I am unaware of any conflict
between the birders, quite a few of whom were local, and any of the
neighbors. One neighbor invited me into his yard and made me feel very
welcome.  I believe the officer was there enforcing some parking permit
requirement as this neighborhood is just up the street from U of W and
apparently the parking can be tight.  I didn't have any problems parking as
I was just north of Cody's yard/area on a part of the street where there
weren't any parking restrictions.

Re: [cobirds] What's the deal on this rare Red-flanked Bluetail in nearby Wyoming?

[Ben S]

I went up to Laramie today to try for the Red-flanked Bluetail around 1 pm. No 
luck. While driving through the spot it was reported, I saw a couple of 
birders. Asked them if they had any luck, they hadn't. I went to look for a 
good parking spot. No luck on that. I am driving back through and I see police 
talking to some people. Now I don't know this for sure, but I assumed one of 
the neighbors was suspicious of all the people with binos and cameras and 
called the police. Not wanting to be part of whatever was going on, and since 
the bird was nowhere to be seen, I decided to accept my loss and head back 
toward Colorado. I stopped at Turtle Rock on my way back to Colorado. Most 
notable birds were eight Clark's Nutcrackers and a Golden crowned Kinglet. As 
for the Red-flanked Bluetail, I think it was a one day wonder. Apparently the 
Farralone Islands, California, had one on November 3rd. Probably not the same 
bird. This may be wishful thinking, but maybe we should keep an eye out for one 
here in Colorado for the next couple weeks!

If anyone is going up on Thursday (if the bird is still there) I'd be happy
to drive or ride with anyone.

Re: [cobirds] What's the deal on this rare Red-flanked Bluetail in nearby Wyoming?

[Joe Roller]

DuWayne,
FYI, four birders saw the Red-flanked Bluetail today in Laramie,
as recently as 12:12, and reported that to eBird at the stakeout hotspot.
So it is alive and well.

[cobirds] What's the deal on this rare Red-flanked Bluetail in nearby Wyoming?

[Joe Roller]

Several of you have asked me for information about this "way lost" bird,
found
yesterday by Cody Porter, a savvy birder in nearby Laramie, Wyoming.
Kudos to Cody for getting "the word" out promptly!

That Bluetail has become known as the "Laramie Rarity". (Say in fast three
times).
A few Colorado birders made it up to the Equality State yesterday, Nov 4,
and many
more are on the scene or en route at this very moment.

Honestly, I had never even heard of this species, so I studied up on it a
bit, using
eBird maps and other on-line sources. Might as well share what I learned.
Any of this can be amended or corrected by more knowledgable birders or
those who have actually seen the bird.

The *Red-flanked Bluetail* is an old world flycatcher (formerly thought to
be
a kind of thrush) that breeds in cooler climates of Northern Europe and
Asia,
eg, Scandinavia, Russia, northern China and south into more temperate parts
of
southern China, Japan, etc.

The Scandinavian population migrates southwest to England, France, etc,
with
some straying further to Mediterranean countries, but NOT to the eastern
US, as many
other "overshoot" species have done.
The Asiatic breeding Buetails migrate pretty much due south to spend the
winter in southern China and Japan, with records as far south as Vietnam.

And a few individuals, perhaps with a faulty GPS in their brains, migrate
east and southeast,
showing up to winter in Alaska and the US west coast, as far south as Los
Angeles.

These vagrants have stayed for months, attracting hundreds of eager birders
from all over the US. The
closest one ever got to Colorado was the Bluetail that spent the winter of
2016-17 in far western Idaho,
where some intrepid Colorado birders were able to see it.

BUT there are no US records of Red-flanked Bluetail for any points east of
Idaho until yesterday, when
the Laramie rarity (kind of rhymes) was found and photographed.

Why drive that far to see this Bluetail? Check out the airfare to other
places you could find one,
like Sweden,Finland or that other popular Bluetail breeding site near Lake
Baikal, Дорога до Теплых озер (Tepli Ozera access track).

Will it survive the cool Wyoming winter? Only if it has a consistent food
supply and is carrying
a lucky rabbit's foot, BUT the bird is sure to arrive in Colorado soon if
it continues on its apparent southeasterwardly
journey.
So keep those mealworms handy, and watch your feeder continuously. You too
could enjoy 500 birders crowding into
your kitchen for a glimpse of this year's rarity, Red-flanked Bluetail!

Thanks and good birding!
Joe Roller, Denver

PS
IF you plan to seek out the Bluetail, work up a carload, pack up, and go
the alley near this address:
658 1/2 North 9th Street, Laramie, WY.
The homeowner, Cody Porter, has welcomed birders so far, but of course that
could change,
based on the historic observation that "life happens".

The exact site is pinpointed on the eBird hotspot map, labelled:
"stakeout Red-flanked Bluetail, Laramie, 2019"
That hotspot can be used even if the bird has moved a few blocks.
