Hat’s Off to Rob Fanning!
A little birdy told me that Fyke's own Rob Fanning saw a MacGillivray's Warbler in Monmouth County this week.
I also hear that there is only one other state record in NJ, according to the NJBRC website.
The bird stayed in Cape May for a two-month period between November 1997 and January 1998.
Way to go, Rob!
