Peter et al, One was seen in Encino, a suburb of inland Los Angeles vaguely 4 days ago by someone who is not a birder (photos of it posted on Facebook with the usual "Hey I've never seen one of these birds around here before, what is it?"). It appears that that bird was refound this morning in Ventura county, close to Los Angeles county, but we are wiggling nervously in our seats while trying to find out if that bird here is chaseable. So in plain English there's at least two of them in the American Southwest. Very cool.
