Well some of you St. Louis birders will take some solice in the fact that you got a Eurasian Tree Sparrow before John Vanderpoel, who just got his first one of the year. However it was #730 for him for the year. He's on a good pace to break the record. Here is a link to his Blog. http://www.bigyear2011.com He hasn't been to Attu, but has been to Gambell Alaska a couple of times, which is futher north and actually closer to Asia.
