I really hope one will makes its way down to Texas :) It happened two years ago and I didn't see it, so I'm hoping another one comes down here! Lucky you to see such a cool bird :)

Normally these birds live in Arctic areas, but in the past few weeks many of these birds have been seen all over the northeastern US. One was even sighted as far south as North Carolina.

Congratulations on seeing a rare bird for the "lower 48"!
