A mega-rarity was reported on Sunday afternoon up in Rhode Island. Unfortunately I had to work all day on Monday... so Tuesday would be my chance to try for this visitor from Siberia.
I left home at 04:30 and arrived in Watch Hill, RI just past 07:15...only to then take the .75 mile walk out on Napatree Point to the lagoon area where the bird had been seen. Fortunately when I arrived the bird appeared in the distance, and then came closer during its time here this morning. After about 20 minutes the bird flew away to the island in the bay. So it was a great morning, as I got to see a bird that likely I will not see again...unless I go to Siberia !
