[nysbirds-l] Western Kingbirds, LI North Fork

[Joel Horman]

Two Western Kingbirds were seen at Hallock State Park Preserve, in 
Laurel, Riverhead area, halfway down the entrance road, actively 
foraging and flitting between the tree line and the high fencing, at 
about 12:15 today. Not seen again when we returned about one-half hour 
later, but possibly still around.

[nysbirds-l] Yellow-Billed Magpie in Great Neck today

[matt klein]

My buddy, Dan Galimidi observed and photographed a yellow-billed magpie sitting 
on a telephone wire in Great Neck today between 3 and 4 PM.  A link to the 
photo posted to Facebook is here.

It would be extremely out of range if it was in fact a wild bird. The species 
seems to only be found in a small area in California. Reporting it here to see 
is anyone else has seen it or has any ideas how it would have gotten here.

Thanks!
Matt

Well, that's clearly a Yellow-billed Magpie. I'd say the chance of it being a 
wild vagrant is about zero. A nonmigratory species, separated by mountains and 
thousands of miles, turning up here is extremely unlikely.
