	Birds Korea - conserving birds and habitats in South Korea and the Yellow Sea eco-region
		Although both Isabelline and female Northern share a generally plain and brown-toned plumage in spring, there are a number of diagnostic differences (some of which cannot be seen in the images).
		Sexing and ageing is rather more problematical, but based on the flness of the lores, the presence of a weak greater covert bar, brownish centers to many of the coverts and the generally worn condition of many of the flight feathers, it is likely that this is a first summer male.
		The axillaries and underwing coverts of Isabelline are whitish or pale buff, as opposed to the (usually) dark grey of Northern.

		Two geographically separate populations of Northern Wheatears breed in North America.
		In fall the western population migrates southwestward and the eastern population migrates southeastward, both wintering in Africa with as many as 22 other species of wheatears.
		Thus the New World has been colonized by Northern Wheatears from both East and West; they maintain their ancestral distinction by continuing to follow separate migratory routes.

		There are northern wheatears nesting in North America from Alaska and Canada's northwest territories east to Baffin Island.
		The first record of a northern wheatear in this state, according to Birds of Massachusetts, was in 1910.
		The wheatear was nowhere to be seen, but we did spot a merlin, bobolinks, cedar waxwings, red-breasted nuthatches, a Carolina wren and eastern kingbirds.

	Submission No:214
		This case relates to a record of a wheatear sighted in roadside grasslands and vegetation on the North East coast of Christmas Island (105º 42’ E 10º 25’S) on the 14th January 1996.
		No indication is given in the sketch of a dark central stem to the terminal band in the tail, which (again understandably) does place doubt as to the accuracy of the sketch.
		The committee did concur that Northern Wheatear is the far more likely contender when taking into account the likelihood of occurrence given that there are records of this species from Borneo.

	Rare Birds in Lincolnshire - Lincolnshire Wheatears
		Probably, the wheatears we see on the coast at this time of the year are the UK breeders moving away from their natal areas.
		Most wheatears on passage at this time of the year are continental drift migrants but also including the Greenland and Icelandic breeding subspecies, leucorhoa.
		Wheatears are usually prominent and easy to see, but this Desert Wheatear was surprisingly elusive at times, and it was possible to visit the area and miss it, but fortunately most who went were rewarded with good views.

	Northern Wheatear in New York
		I have always assumed that Wheatears seen on the East Coast were of the subspecies leucorhoa which breed in northern Quebec, Labrador, Greenland and Iceland but winter in West Africa.
		During my stay the wheatear fed constantly; dropping down onto prey items it had spotted in the short cut grass or by extracting insects (moths?) from the base of the fence.
		The wheatear worked its way up and down the various fence lines surrounding the parking lots, returning frequently to one or two favoured stretches of fence.

		A hundred years ago Wheatears bred all over the country using roadside pits and quarries and rabbit burrows if other nest sites were not available.
		Not much change was recorded until 1940 when declines started to be noticed in peripheral areas and, particularly, in the southern half of England.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Morocco
		We woke up in the early morning and we birdwatched in the back part of the hotel, where there are some tamarisks, and we walked to the back part of the "Suerte Loca" hotel, where there are some palm trees and some tamarisks.
		When we had sailed for a while, we decided that it was time to throw one of the fish buckets; some gannets, gulls, terns and Cory´s Shearwater appeared, and we have very good views of these species.
		Unfortunately, a first year Northern Gannet got stuck in a hook of a rod, and they tried to take it into the boat, but when they took it, and they try to take out the hook, it died.

		Another dedicated friend of the bare, rocky landscape, the Northern Wheatear is a bird easy to spot and identify, due to its habitual exposed stature, its distinctive upright position, usually on top of a rock, and the fl and white tail.
		Wintering south of the Sahara, it is one of the earliest spring visitors, appearing as early as the first days of March.
		Probably the commonest migrant species nesting in the Aegean, the Northern Wheatear is, together with the Sardinian Warbler, the White Wagtail, the Crested Lark and the Blue Rock Thrush, the most widespread songbird in the Aegean region.

	BirdForum - Isabelline or Northern Wheatear?
		However, I have seen many autumn Northern Wheatears in all their plumage variation, and based on that experience I don't think I'd have given this bird a second look.
		However, it is of course unwise to draw too many conclusions on the basis of a single photo like this, and in the field the bird may have appeared somewhat different, and I can't help feeling there must have been something about it that led the observer to conclude that this was an Isabelline.
		The consensus is that it's a Northern Wheatear - possibly a leucorhoa - with an atypical tail pattern.

		This Sue dimly remembered being a Wheatear characteristic (fitting with the bluebird "look" and white and fl tail feathers), and at that point suggested that the bird might be a Wheatear.
		All we knew was that if it was a Northern Wheatear (an arctic bird that commutes between Alaska and Siberia), it would be a life bird for both of us, and a very good bird for San Diego.
		If this report is accepted by the California Bird Records Committee, it will establish the first Northern Wheatear for San Diego County and only the second from southern California.
