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

2018-10-04 Thread matt klein 
Folks I am getting reports that the original photo was from California. While 
that is surely more plausible than the bird showing up well out of range, I 
need to get more information from the original sighter. Needless to say that 
this new information puts the original post’s veracity in doubt. Nonetheless, I 
have called my friend who reported it and he is sticking by his story.

I just want everyone to know that I didn’t take reporting the bird lightly and 
had a long conversation with my friend before reporting explaining how 
implausible it would be to see this species here in NY.  More to come.

... to be continued.

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.

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
