Female Kirtland's Warbler from the other day! Best views I've ever had of one, even though the sighting was short lived. ML571265081 Kirtland's Warbler Macaulay Library15 points

So, what may be the same bird (or not) showed up in Galveston, TX yesterday late afternoon, and after it was re-found this morning by others, I decided to drive 3.5 hrs in the opposite direction than I did on Thursday to try for it. Luckily, and despite semi-flooding conditions, I was able to see it after 3 hours of searching. A few pics for the story.

I got county bird #250 last Thursday, Lifer Wilson’s Phalarope. Not bad considering it looks like historical records show ~259 birds had been report prior to me starting up. Seen some great birds the last 9+ years.6 points

I like to challenge myself to do my big days motorless. This year was a new record for me with 81 species after 30+ miles of biking/walking! https://ebird.org/tripreport/128967 My goal was 85 which I probably could have done easily if I managed my time better. But I ended up taking too long in the morning so by the time I got to the good spot it was already 90° and all the birds were hiding.6 points

No doubt a Broad-tailed. The shape of the rectrices on adult females is diagnostic when comparing with BCHU. It’s too early in CO to have immature hummingbirds. It’s also quite hunched in posture and has super buffy flanks, which BCHU don’t typically have. The shape of the primaries is also wrong for BCHU. And, while not diagnostic at all, it’s perched amongst conifers in golden, CO, further supporting BTHU.6 points

Hey, thanks. I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have been lurking. 🙂5 points

I think they meant Northern Rough-winged Swallow there, FWIW, which, if so, is a very reasonable guess based off of the picture.5 points

RWBL for me. Proportions, shape, and size compared to the grass all look off for a sparrow to me.5 points

Just got back from birding all day. Didn't get as many species as I typically do, but that's because I went up into the Sierra Nevada's where the bird diversity is a bit lower than on the valley floor. It was a great day though! The highlights of the day were probably Golden Eagle, Evening Grosbeak, Pileated Woodpecker, White-headed Woodpecker, and visuals on two Mountain Quail! https://ebird.org/tripreport/1288965 points

Your second thrush is an Ovenbird! (left bird) All the thrushes are Gray-cheeked5 points

https://ebird.org/checklist/S137528571 Highest species count I have on a checklist so far! Got four lifers and lots of FOYs. Finally got looks at an Ovenbird, which was previously a heard-only bird for me.5 points

After a long and mostly successful day, I’m tapping out at 127 species! If I had planned more, (and if the weather had gone like I thought it would) I could have tallies many more. I’m honestly the most excited about the snake though 😋 https://ebird.org/tripreport/128332?view=checklists5 points

My first kingsnake ever, an Eastern King! (I think). Totally worth the stinky hand and almost bitten nose.

My assumption right now is the reviewer(s) are too busy getting out and birding during migration.4 points

Thrush is a Veery. Lateral throat stripe is too light brown for a Hermit. Great shots!4 points

Indigo Bunting. You can see enough of the wing bars to see that they’re not rufous.4 points

Scarlet tanager male for sure, they get all kind of funky on their first adult molt... Wait till you see a male summer tanager in molt, they get pretty crazy also..4 points

Female/immature male(?) American Redstart and a female Cape May Warbler.4 points

They can have weird face patterns. I've seen one like this before, though I think the direct sunlight has maybe blown it out of proportion.a little. Here is a similar bird I found on eBird: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/5716210314 points

We tallied 105 species, a new record for us and #1 in our state! Highlights for me were Long-tailed Duck, Bonaparte's Gull, Orchard Oriole, and Wilson's Warbler. https://ebird.org/vt/tripreport/1289454 points

🤦♂️🤦♂️. That does make more sense!😂😂 To clear things up, this is undoubtedly a Tree Swallow.4 points

Scarlet Tanager. Looks like a young male just getting in the red plumage.4 points

73 yesterday at least allowed me to consider I put in an effort. Wasn’t great conditions to really try for a Big Day. Kept threatening to rain, and then only had a few scattered sprinkles. Couldn’t trust it to do any long hikes, so lots of drive-and-stops. Can’t complain about 8 FOY, even if many of them are late for me.4 points

So in other words ... it was probably directly over your house while you were off looking the first time 🤔4 points

I like to call Ovenbird the warbler that wants to be a thrush, so maybe this one is just trying to blend in!4 points

https://ebird.org/tripreport/128526 Barely squeezed in five checklists to try for the eBirder of the month challenge. This was a hectic day for me, woke up at 5:45 to get ready and drive to morning birding event, from there to martial arts practice, then chamber ensemble rehearsal. My first time birding on Big Day!4 points

Eastern Kingbird. It doesn't have a contrasting black mask and it has a white tail tip.4 points

Since I barely got half the number of species I saw yesterday, today, here’s my list from yesterday. Pretty good day overall, I’ll upload some more photos shortly. https://ebird.org/checklist/S1372361853 points

The extent of my birding so far was eating breakfast in the backyard on the bench swing with two wiggly little kids 😆 Still managed 6 sp including 2 recently fledged song sparrows.3 points
