Re: [cobirds] Re: Big Mystery Bird near Kersey Road and I-76

While more expected along a coast, here's a story that involved a highway-based albatross sighting.  The roadside fun begins in paragraph 7:  http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2000-06-18/news/0006180192_1_albatross-laughing-gulls-bird

Many of you may know or know of Shawneen Finnegan, an amazing birder and illustrator.  She commemorated her encounter with a wonderful sketch (attached.)  I can just imagine the skid marks I would leave if I saw a tubenose or other seabird as I was driving along a road somewhere.  With Streaked Shearwater in Wyoming and frigatebirds from both CO & WY, who knows what else could wing its way here?

Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont
