Tangentially related, and not that I would chase it, but was curious if there are any thoughts on the pedigree of the Black backed oriole being seen at a feeder in Berks County PA (near Reading)? If accepted I understand it would be a first North American ABA record.

Am hoping to work out an agreement on heads-up notices in the near future. Chasing rare bird reports and celebrating successful twitches, becomes sour experiences when one afterwards find out that it was a recent rehab released bird. - Anders Peltomaa Manhattan On Sat, Feb 4, 2017 at 12:07 PM, Ethan Goodman [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [ebirdsnyc] <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I seem to remember some similar questions re a released Prothonotary Warbler a while back. Perhaps the kind folks at the WBF could, in the future, give a heads up to the birding community (via these lists, perhaps) when releasing locally uncommon or rare species? This would assist both those who'd like to see and/or count such a bird, and those who'd skip the chase with such knowledge. I would not expect such notice for locally common or sensitive species (owls), but for a bird that is likely to be a first for many (either ABA, County, or CP) such consideration would be nice rather than relying on the detective work of the community.

In a communication I had with them last night, the WBF confirmed that, in fact, one was released by them to the Reservoir on Wednesday, which happened to be the first day one was reported there to NYSBirds. The origin of the bird was rescue from on-land stranding in Brooklyn. WBF posted to their Facebook page a video of the bird catching live fish swimming in its waterfowl rehab pool (pretty amusing, actually). They do that to make sure the bird can catch its own food before releasing it.
