According to Peter Whelan's regular Saturday birding column in the
Toronto Globe and Mail, this bird was seen on about Jan. 2 in
Langley, B.C. near Vancouver.  It stayed for only a few days, but
plenty of people saw it.

Both the Dusky Thrush in Vancouver and the female Baikal Teal in Evergreen,
CO were around until last weekend but apparently they're both gone now.
