Thx – btw, I believe only 1 Gray-cheeked Thrush was in the sighting. I mis-read the report initially (the notation of (2) obviously meant something different, like a “Level 2” bird probably). Fyi…Jonathan

Hi Jonathan and all,
Given the lack of description, location, observation of 2, and the nature of the checklist, I assume this is an error. But, I’ve written Mary to ask for more details. I’ll sound the alarm if it ends up being legitimate, but for now I’d let this one go.
This is also a great example and reminder for providing useful comments in your eBird submissions. As you can see, simply saying where the bird is does not help anyone who is interested in the sighting.
All the best birds,
Bryce

I’m waiting for the Ebird reviewer to step I. There was t any description of this bird. Wondering if it’s just a mid-id…

Good morning – I just saw this in an eBird alert – does anyone know about the validity of this sighting?
