Hi All, Out of curiosity, I was wondering if anybody knows what the birding community's reaction was when Eurasian Jackdaw's turned up in MA in 1982, and if I remember correctly, I read somewhere that they bred in PA once. Given that this species and Hooded Crow are often within proximity of each other in Europe, and behave similarly it would be interesting to compare patterns of their vagrancy. When the Jackdaws mentioned above showed up, was the birding community skeptical of their origin? How were those birds deemed wild?
