Thanks to Spencer and Doug Hardy for finding this rare bird, alerting
birders, and opening their home for us interested parties.  With all the
experts there within around an hour or so after the post--George, Ed,
Spencer, Doug, Chris, Emerson, to name just a few--there seems little need
for photographic documentation.  But here is some anyway.  I suspect you
will see more in the coming hours or days.

I'll leave it to others to mention the other times this species has been
seen in VT.
