Records of Northern Wheatears in eastern North America are way up this
year,
some have pointed to strong southerly winds up north which may have
pushed them
down our way.
I compiled all the records I could find to date in this map:

If you know of any missing records or errors please let me know and
I'll update
this. CT still has both of their birds, so those in the east keep a
watch out.
