eBird report of Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Trinidad

[Chris Rurik]

Hot off the wire, an eBird rare bird alert of a Fork-tailed Flycatcher in Trinidad (Las Animas County) yesterday at 2:15.

Thought I'd let those who are not signed up for the alerts know.

Does anyone have any more information?

Thanks,

I should have been more clear. This is an UNCONFIRMED sighting.

IF it is a fork-tailed flycatcher, it would be a first state record (I think).

Yes, IF it is a Fork-tailed Fly, it would be a first state record.

IF it is confirmed to be a Fork-tailed Flycatcher, it would be the first United States 

record ever for February, away from the Gulf Coast.

The only January eBird record ever is from central Arkansas, once in 1995.

Interesting if true.

How about another guess:  Trinidad and Tobago are just off the coast of Venezuela.  Lots of fork-tails.  I saw 300 at one time in Venezuela.

Therefore...perhaps the post for the island of Trinidad mistakenly was placed in Colorado, during someone's listing?

 

If it is indeed in Trinidad,CO, let us know...I still need it for ABA!
