According to Sibleys this is a very exotic bird for North America and I had never heard of one, let alone see one until today. I am fairly sure every birder in ontario will be all over this bird in the coming week.

Hundreds of the things also, down south of the UK at the moment.

We get as equally excited when we have an unusual bird arrive on our shores as well - good to have something different now n then.
