	WHEATEAR - LoveToKnow Article on WHEATEAR
		The wheatear, Saxicola ~nanthe, is one of the earliest migrants of its kind to return to its home, often reaching England at the end of February and almost always by the middle of March.
		The wheatear has a very wide range throughout the Old World, extending in summer far within the Arctic Circle, from Norway to the Lena and Yana valleys, while it winters in Africa beyond the Equator and in India.
		The wheatear and its allies belong to the sub-family Turdinae of the thrushes (q.v.).

	Black Wheatear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Black Wheatear, Oenanthe leucura, is a wheatear, a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the Thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae.
		This large wheatear breeds on cliffs and rocky slopes in western north Africa and Iberia.
		The similar White-crowned Wheatear, Oenanthe leucopyga, also breeds in the African part of the Black Wheatear's range, but the Black Wheatear has a fl inverted "T" on its white tail, whereas White-crowned has only a fl centre to its tail.

	Northern Wheatear, Sonoma County, California

		This is the third Northern Wheatear I have seen in California, the first was near Orland, October 1988 and the second was in San Francisco in September 1995.

	White-crowned Black Wheatear 1982
		The wheatear seemed quite tame and clearly favoured a rusty car chassis in the salubrious surroundings of a rubbish-filled pit.
		Brian and Roger both commented that they had seen a small white spot on the forecrown of the bird when it had returned to the pit the last time, I had not noted this, but we didn't think too much of this as leucism is rife in fl birds of many species.
		When we turned to the wheatear plates we received a nasty shock for in both the Hamlyn and Collins field guides there was a broad fl bar on the tail tip.

	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.

		It is said that the name Wheatear derives from the expression 'white arse', a perfect description of how this bird appears as it flies away.
		Indeed, it is the white rump contrasting with the inverted fl 'T' in the tail which separates a Wheatear in any plumage from all other European birds.

		I know that there are various Wheatear races - I guess this is just one that I'm not familiar with.....
		Due to it's size (as you indicated) it's maybe a 'Greenland type', which is known to be bigger than the nominate race.
		Yes it is a sub-species of Northern Wheatear, in spring they seem to go through later and then likewise in autumn.
