Very nice capture, particularly in light of the lighting being suboptimal.

There has been an influx of Green-taileds into the eastern part of the state this winter.

I've heard of a few reports of sightings of these where they normally don't appear, as Chris mentioned. Nice catch of a fairly rare bird.
