Lots of Goldeneyes reported yesterday. Saturday it appeared out of nowhere while 3 other birders were watching a group of COGE. It apparently has some ninja skills. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloebird 40 Posted December 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Seattle said: Vermillion Actually in Saskatchewan. But I looked in my bird app and it says southeast California to central Texas into Mexico and wintering in parts of Florida. I’ve only passed through Washington via flights. So I’ll look up Skagit Valley but regardless a Vermilion flycatcher shouldn’t be anywhere near there is right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
