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.
wrong way feldman......wasn't this on Gilligans Island???? of course he couldn't have the cast rescued since the castaways knew he flown there by mistake!

naomi says it was Hogan's Heroes!
You are right Dave. It was Gilligan's Island. I think he was on a couple of episodes.
