Hey Lance
Are we recording more vagrants per year than in other times? Do we have the
data? I see reports and suggestions in the literature that link the
incidence of bird vagrants to climate change and erratic weather.
Dandelions Shepherd purse Groundsel still flowering through December and
all are non-native.
