So why would Barnacle Geese do the exact opposite and regularly jump over the island?<br />Same goes with Brambling and many other Euro strays (inc. your fav. bird the Smew - but I'll try to keep that to myself) :p<br /><br />Find some real birds that aren't controversial... like an Elaenia :)Alvan Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945673401708263202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130980035846282323.post-21473310550096152242012-04-20T05:24:44.533-04:002012-04-20T05:24:44.533-04:00Stu counted the Fork-tailed.

This is PRIME time for an Ontario record (Apr 18-30th), since they nest pretty far north and migrate late. Although honestly, they're really common in captivity and the history of the OBRC has shown that it has a 0.005% chance of being accepted without a band from Europe.......Brandon Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225665346907616226noreply@blogger.com
