Redgannet’s found a whole flock of White Wagtails outside of Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 and he is concerned that perhaps someone has misplaced their local birds. If your local wagtails have turned up missing, please let him know.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.

Nope, we still have them in bunches, but thanks for asking 🙂
The bird proofing method that Redgannet mentions can have adverse consequences. In Richmond, VA a few years ago, it was used on the Senate building while the legislature was in session. A large number of Cedar Waxwings became entrapped in the sticky goo; some died and some spent weeks with rehabbers until they grew new feathers. And it was a public relations disaster – taxpayer funds being spent on something that harms a beautiful and iconic species.
Here, here!
Me!!!
I have lost mine!
I still need White (and Pied for that matter, we Germans are ruthless Motacilla-splitters) for my year list!
Puuuleeeeeaze!
@Wendy: That is disturbing. Thanks for the info.
@Jochen: You will never catch me, regardless of how many species you split from the wagtails.
