A rare vagrant migrant was spotted at a homeowner’s feeder this week in Lake County and I was lucky to get a shot of this lifer at its favorite feeder before a Cooper’s Hawk scared it off.

Nice shot! I thought about chasing it up there but haven’t (yet). Remarkable to see it here.
Very nice. I missed it by a day.
