...sorry. Just wanted to mention the ABA website's app which bunches
reports of rarities at http://birding.aba.org/search.php  , giving an
idea of recent records of this species at Hawaii, Texas, Louisiana,
North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Virginia, and Ohio. The role of the weather is obvious, and it shows
a clear boost that large soaring seabirds get from winds that once were
very unusual. Who knows if these oceanic wanderers will find their ways
back to wintering spots, but they are the vanguard of a new era. As for
crossbill etc., fuggataboutit.
