In breaking news, several Canada Geese were spotted yesterday in a park outside Jamestown, New York. When queried about this unusual event, an anonymous passerby stated, “Well, they’re here pretty often.” BirdingPI.com assessment: unlikely story (!)

In other bird news, what appears to be a migrating Red Knot was recently spotted on the mudflats at Gull Point, Presque Isle State Park, Millcreek Twp, PA (“Gateway to Presque Isle”). Following shots are relatively mediocre due to the long distance, but good enough to get the idea. This individual not as red (e.g., in the face/feathers) as a full breeding adult, so could be in plumage transition.
