Talk:blue rock thrush

spotted in Oregon

A blue rock thrush was recently spotted and photographed in Oregon, according to this video. Pinging @DCDuring for his probable interest in this. 0DF (talk) 07:09, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Sightings of errant birds are often noted (or claimed). Maybe global warming makes a trip to North America from Sakhalin more feasible. That would seem to be a male of subspecies Monticola solitarius philippensis, which "has rufous-chestnut plumage from the mid-breast down to the undertail", according to WP. Did anyone see a female? If not, .... DCDuring (talk) 14:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

@DCDuring: No idea. According to the video (which I'm sure you saw) there was a claimed sighting in British Columbia in 1997, but it was discredited. All I did was watch the video, but I figured it might interest you. 0DF (talk) 15:53, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
