Hi All- A Minnesota Birding facebook group member posted today that she had seen a MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD at her feeders at her home in Wright Co. "I got a very good look at it through the binoculars. At first, I thought it might be an Indigo Bunting, but it was too large. It looks exactly like an Eastern Bluebird, only ALL bright blue, with some black wing markings." She was unable to get photos but will keep looking and trying. That is about the extent of the description, but it seems reasonably compelling! It is also currently unclear exactly where the bird was seen and whether it would be appropriate for other birders to search for it. I'm passing this along mostly because this may fit in with a recent pattern of western species showing up in the upper midwest. If more details come to light I will try to share them here.
