We had the bird in a perfect telescoped view for at least 6 minutes and the light grey head and orange band that extended over the top of the wing and back of the bird distinguised it from the American Robin. This is a rare sighting indeed as the birds rarely ventures any further north than Southern California from its permanent home of Mexico. _________________________________________________________________ Frustrated with dial-up?
