I dont know until this past weekend, I had never really seen a leustic bird, and first it was a Canada Goose, and now this?!?! Please someone tell me I havent finally gone crazy! :huh: I made them into a set on flickr so they would all be in one spot. Saw this today in CT.

That's an awesome bird! It does happen occasionally, here's one that we've had at our Hawkwatch the last few years:
