From my experience, it’s quite unusual for November. However, there were many late records of various neotropicals this fall because of the paucity of cold fronts. Conceivably, many may not make the journey to C and S America. Times are sure changing, and it’s very, very scary.

Hi all—
I’ve had a Scarlet Tanager coming to my birdbath, yesterday and today ( Nov. 9 & 10). I’ve been unable to get a photo.At first I thought it was going to be a Western Tanager, which I’ve had in the past. But a second look told me Scarlet. I checked on eBird and saw 2 different reports for Leon County in the past week.
Questions— how unusual is it for November? I usually think of them as migrating through in September-early October. Is mine a female or “non-breeding male? It’s goldish with dark wings.
