I guess it’s not all that unusual to see an out-of-range bird. Not by our recent experience anyway. We could never predict which out-of-range bird will show up, but I guess we can’t help from seeing something rare on occasion if we’re paying attention.

Now, already, it has happened again. We’ve got another eastern bird: a rose breasted grosbeak. We’ve seen this bird before, but never out in the desert southwest! He’s hanging out with a flock of white crowned sparrows. He’s not on the list of birds likely to be seen here.
