Also mini-chase in my neighborhood snagged a Eurasian Teal, ssp. crecca/nimia of Green-winged Teal - so not a true year tick (on this side of the pond, anyway).

This afternoon after work I chased a mega rarity for West Virginia that had been spotted very early in the morning and then refound in the afternoon. Conveniently, the bird was refound about a half an hour before I got out of work at a site that is just a couple of miles from where I work.

Today I drove over to Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., to twitch a Shiny Cowbird that has been coming to a feeder for about a month or so. I saw my target within a fairly short period of time. Not only was it a year bird, it was also an ABA Area lifer.

212. Shiny Cowbird

Shiny Cowbirds established a toehold in extreme southern Florida in the mid-1980s and individual birds occasionally range far to the north.
