**Seasonal
rarities have started in New Brunswick. Lorna Stokes in
Wilmot, Carleton County, noted an unfamiliar bird catching insects on
her property since Tuesday, October 2nd. She got photos to Stu
Tingley, who felt this could be New Brunswick’s first documented
GRAY KINGBIRD [Tyran gris].
This Caribbean flycatcher breeds north into the U.S. from Florida to
South Carolina. Although having appeared in Nova Scotia and Maine,
this would appear to be New Brunswick’s first documented visit of
this species, even though other suspect site records could not be
accepted by the birds
records
committee,
as no photograph or second observer to corroborate what was present.
Several observers have converged on 624 Wilmot Road, the home of
Lorna Stokes, and got great observations on Friday. Like all rare
birds, it is very important to be very careful checking the area, but
no doubt observers will be on the scene today and know where to
carefully view it at
present. Jim Wilson
files this report, as he did so thoroughly on Nature New Brunswick,
and suggests to park well off the road, due to trucks and heavy
machinery in the potato harvest at the moment. Jim sends a few photos
he got of this bird to share with the Nature New Brunswick group;
they are attached.
**Aldo
Dorio sends some interesting photos of what would suggest to be a
fall female YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER [Paruline à croupion jaune]
that shows some features nicely: the white eye crescent, white
throat, yellow rump, and yellow side
patches, but the
angle of photos also shows some of the tail underside, to show some
of the large white patches the undertail
of this species exhibits.
