Observation details
Mega rarity, found by Howard Weinberg, seen by many; photos, audio. Mainly stayed in dunes between Coral and St. Peter's, perching on dead conifer tops, but also ventured into interior of Cape May Point, perching on tall aspens and other tall trees. Fed actively and very successfully on wasps and other larger insects. Aged at 1st-year based on rounded primary tips. Relatively low pitched calls suggest East Mexican/TX population.
