Hi everyone,
It is with equal parts interest and concern I report having seen no fewer than two, and quite possibly as many as four Swinhoe's White-eyes all together this morning in Bay Point. My friendly eBird reviewer thought it would be worth an email. I don't see any other eBird records of more than one ever seen together in the Bay Area, but I know that doesn't likely tell the full story. For now I'm not considering this a lifer, but if those more knowledgeable than me have good reason for keeping the record as provisional (rather than escapee), I may reconsider. Anyway, if anyone wants more specific details, let me know. They were in a chaseable, public location, but it will take a little explaining to get there and be safe.
