As a First State Record Marsh Sandpiper was reported in Washington, 2 Black-throated Gray Warblers set records last week, including a Second Provincial Record in Labrador, and a Sixth State Record in Alaska. A Second Provincial Record was also created when birders documented a Black-tailed Gull in Ontario, and a Second State Record Brewer’s Sparrow was photographed in Florida. A Third State Record Ash-throated Flycatcher was reported by Arkansas birders – and there are many more Really Rare Birds to report.
