I gather this bird is rare here but not unheard of, and I post the pictures for what they are worth -- last two birds in this gallery (pictures are cropped but not otherwise edited): http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/miscellany Tom Grey http://www.geocities.com/tgrey41 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
