'Wrong Way' Feldman of the bird world

Rare sighting has birdwatchers flocking to Mountain Lake (Star Tribune)
Birdwatchers are flocking to southern Minnesota, after the sighting of a bird rarely seen in this part of the country.
The green-tailed towhee has been seen in the town of Mountain Lake.
The little bird has a white breast, a red cap and green sides and tail.
It is supposed to winter in New Mexico, Arizona, south Texas, and Mexico. And in the summer months, it usually flocks to Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah.
With word of the bird spreading over the Internet, bird buffs have been trekking to see the rare visitor.
The same bird was found off course last June near Thunder Bay, Ontario, where it was banded.


Trivia question of the day: on what 60's TV show would you have found the character: 'Wrong Way' Feldman?

This bird probably ate some peyote down there and decided to go on a road trip.

Here, now you've seen it; save the gas on making the trip to Mountain Lake MN

Dumb people! Just go flock to Arizona, not Minnesota! Pick someplace warm if you have all that freedom and money.

You are right Dave. It was Gilligan's Island. I think he was on a couple of episodes.
