enough to NYC to be of potential interest. Note that this is a

I don't equate "interesting" with "rare". Rare birds are often
well-characterized - not least of all in weekly RBA posts. Interesting
birds (self-defined) run a much larger gamut than that, and I can point to
a lot of eBird checklists where there's no additional context whatsoever

I personally doubt this bird has much chance, but if it is going to
have any, it's going to have to get a better diet.
A UK birder asked me, and I realize I have no idea if there is one, or
even where to start looking for it.
Any pointers welcome.

It was still there as of 8:20am and appears to be of a far western ssp

and tail. I have pics. For those looking for it - it's an active
