The "Other" things you see when Birding
Connor Cochrane replied to MacMe's topic in Photo Sharing and Discussion
I'm not really a big helper but once a year during the rainy season I'll flip some logs in the backyard, and this time I found three of the four salamander species in the county. I'm sure @Seanbirds can correct any of my IDs if I'm wrong. California Slender Salamander - definitely the most common type, there were multiple under almost every log. Arboreal Salamander - A few around, seemed to be more than usual Ensatina - My first time seeing this species, thought it was a newt at first. -

Your Best or Favorite Photo of a Bird Species.
Connor Cochrane replied to Kevin's topic in Photo Sharing and Discussion

Sorry, brain fart there. Which statement in particular? I think it’s pretty well known that European species are pretty split. The European countries split a lot of American species as well on their lists. I don’t know as much about central situation but thats what I’ve heard with talking to people who have a lot more experience down there than me.
-
Another one two that I haven't been mentioned yet are Bell's Vireo and Swainson's Thrush. I think that the vast majority of these birds should be split but the AOU is extremely cautious and slow with splitting (the European's are the opposite, they split everything it seems). There's hundreds of splits waiting to happen in south and central America that the AOU won't consider till there's multiple genetic studies.

Yeah I've heard there's a pretty good chance that STJA get split this AOU cycle. The other two main splits I can think of is House Wren (it's crazy it isn't split yet) and Fox Sparrow. I think a Junco split will happen in the future but not 5-ways. I think Gray-headed/Red-backed birds will be the first to get split off.

What bird name would like to change?
Connor Cochrane replied to jimbarnett's topic in General Birding Topics
Vultures become more common the further south you go. There's almost always a vulture in the sky where I live, and when you get down into the neotropics they become the most abundant birds in the area. -

We have good night sky views from my house but I could never find the comet. I didn't spend a lot of time searching though.
