If anybody cares (I do), there have been at least 6 reports of this species
from NC within the last 42 years. Of those 6, 3 occurred at at Pea Island,
and the other 3 were at Portsmouth Island.
Of those 6 sightings, 4 involved birds that were present for at least 2
days. (2 of the Portsmouth birds remained for 2-3 weeks.) So, although
there are no guarantees, a morning dash to South Pond tomorrow might be
worthwhile.
(I acknowledge drawing a conclusion on 6 reports is perhaps
kind've...mmm..."optimistic".)
I imagine I'll see a lot of you (hopefully) on the NC 12 roadside tomorrow
morning. :-)
