KCZooFan 2 Jul 2012 I just checked, and wow, I did not know tricoloreds ever lived as far north as New York. So I'd agree with that. And @jbnbsn99, if you think peeps are toughest, you clearly haven't dealt with empids!

Ituri 2 Jul 2012 Empids are a pain here, especially living along the split line of the Pacific-Slope/Cordilleran which both used to be the Western Flycatcher.
