New State Bird - Northern Wheatear @ Croton NY...

Despite steady rains and winds I managed to successfully twitch a Northern Wheatear in Croton Westchester late this afternoon. Not sure what subspecies this is, but I am going to guess leucorhoa since they breed the closest to the East Coast in places like Northern Quebec. Here is a poor shot of the bird in fading light.
