Jul-Sep |
Erie |
Still very exciting, but no longer a surprise, was the appearance of a Brown Pelican. The sighting was brought to the attention of the birding community via a radio talk-show, when the host announced that he had seen a pelican flying over Presque Isle Bay the previous day. A listener called in and reported that he had just seen the bird that morning, Jean & Jim Stull were also listening and immediately investigated and found the sighting to be authentic. It was subsequently seen by many boaters, but only 3 birders were fortunate enough to see it before it departed. This is the 1st state record documented with a photo (Fred Curtze) |

Present all quarter. Please note: These birds appear to be very easily disturbed during the breeding season. Just a car stopping near their nest will cause them to leave it. Please do not go looking for these birds during the breeding season! They are the only shrikes breeding in the state and it would be unfortunate if they were unsuccessful because of undue disturbance |

Plegadis sp. |
1992 |
Oct-Dec |
Erie |
An all dark Plegadis was observed at PISP 10/15. It was Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerla) or Snowy Egret (E. thula) in size with an extended neck and a long decurved bill. The legs were all dark and projected beyond the tail. As it circled the point it alternately flapped its wings and glided, but unfortunately it never landed so I could thoroughly study it. See photograph. I believe the chances of a Plegadis in fall at PISP being a White-faced Ibis (P. chihi) is as good as, if not better than, a Glossy Ibis (P. falcinellus). There is a fall record of a Plegadis in Ohio that was identified as a White-faced Ibis! (Jerry McWilliams) |

1 frequented a temporary pond just s. of Mt. Joy. It shared the pond with about 3000 Snow Geese. Jonathan Heller first found it on 3/30 and observed it at close range for about 20 minutes. He noted every pertinent detail including the bluish color on the bill. The next day, Heller and Harold Morrin relocated a Ross' Goose. This bird cooperated and was view for over 15 minutes. In every respect— plumage, size, and shape—it resembled the bird seen the previous day. However, both observers noticed a very fine black gape line on the bill. This mark could be seen only at close range. Heller raised the possibility that this bird may represent a Snow X Ross's hybrid. Any comments? |

The sightings of at least one white-phase bird continued at Octoraro L. until at least 1/28 (m. obs.); One bird also turned up near Mount Joy with 8700 Snow Geese 2/28 (Jonathan Heller); On 1/31, I observed an apparent blue-phase Ross' Goose at Octoraro L. The neck was entirely dark, but the head/face was white. The size and shape of the bird, length of the neck, and size and shape of the bill seemed identical to a normal white-phase Ross'. However, I could not positively rule out the possibility of a hybrid because I wasn't close enough to eliminate the possibility of a faint grin patch. Later, others also saw a blue-phase Ross' at Octoraro L. (EBNT) |

A hummingbird SP. tentatively identified as a Ruby-throated, may be impossible to confirm. Some have suggested that it could possibly be one of three look-alike hummingbirds species, mostly from the Southwest, that accidently ventured into our area. The other consideration is that it could have been a Ruby-throated Hummingbird that found a good source of food supply, such as running sap or someone else's feeder, before it found Bill Hare's feeder on the edge of Red Lion 11/16. It was extensively viewed and photographed by many birders. It was there until 11/25 when, after an unsuccessful banding operation, it departed |

The adult , first seen 9/27, continues to come to a feeder w. of Edinboro. It has survived to at least Jan 10, 1993.

Beverly and Bob have been able to attract the bird to an enclosed basement entryway, where the bird is protected from the cold. It spends the night and very cold days inside the entryway, where a feeder has been placed containing a recommended mixture to sustain the bird until spring. (ph. Jean Stull) |

Sedge Wren |
1992 |
Jul-Sep |
Wyoming |
Recorded at about 40' in grassy edge of Phelps Swamp — closer observation not possible because of swamp and pond between the bird and observer. The bird was recorded in very dense fog and was identified chiefly by its call — a dry, staccato "chap-chap-chap-chap" which the bird uttered every 10-15 seconds for 5-10 minutes. Mostly the calls were in fours, but a few were in threes. (At no time did I hear it add the "chrrr" at the end of the calls.) I went back to the swamp after the fog lifted, but could not locate the bird. I am familiar with the Sedge Wren call. having heard it several times in the 1950s and 1960s when it was not quite as scarce as it is today. I have also heard it on probable breeding sites in Michigan. I recognized the call immediately, but still checked it with tapes when I got home, and I was still positive of the identification. To the best of my knowledge this is the 1st Co. record. Bill Reid |

First reported along Mount Eden Rd at Octoraro L. 1/20, many people saw this bird through 1/23. Thereafter, it became quite irregular although reports kept coming in through the end of the period. Toward the end of Mar., a second bird had reportedly joined the first. Although the first bird behaved as a wild bird, some doubts remain about its origin. Consequently, PORC will have to determine whether or not this bird will be a new addition to PA's avifauna |
