Rare urban bird sighting

Several birders have seen a fork-tailed flycatcher at Chandler Pond in Brighton! This is the first time in 18 years that this South American species has been seen in April or May in Massachusetts. It has been sighted for the past three days at the pond, so if you want a rare birding experience, go soon, before this confused fellow sorts his migration out!

We get lots of the Scissor tailed Flycatchers down here... which I absolutely adore.

Lucky bastards!

Of course, you didn't have a Scott's Oriole.
