I've surpassed last year's total by 1 species (209 vs. 208), with a nice American Golden-Plover yesterday. It came as close as maybe 30 feet, in a park with a rain pool and lots of short grass (soccer fields, but it was raining lightly so no sports).

I'm glad some of y'all got it on the second guess birdie 🦅 #511: 🟥🟥🟥🟩⬛⬛ https://birdiegame.net/

It's an Orange-crowned Warbler.

HOORAY!!!

Thirding Swainson's

The Collins guide is published in England, the Princeton is published in the USA. They should be identical except for the title, cover art, and copyright/publishing info. I don't know about the printing or the paper. In my opinion it is the best field guide in the world.

I had an idea, confirmed it in a field guide birdie 🦃 #508: 🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ https://birdiegame.net/

Confirmed.

Supercilium is a stripe over the eye, running back from the bill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercilium The supercilium is a plumage feature found on the heads of some bird species. It is a stripe which runs from the base of the bird's beak above its eye, finishing somewhere towards the rear of the bird's head. Also known as an "eyebrow", it is distinct from the eyestripe, which is a line that runs across the lores, and continues behind the eye.

I think those are oddly shaped clouds.

Agree on both being Savannahs

Common Merganser, with a sharp border between the brown of the head and neck, and the white throat patch and the white of the neck. Also the bill base looks too thick for a Red-breasted Merganser bill.

American Flamingo in Maryland! https://ebird.org/checklist/S151445105 Sadly, only seen by the discoverers.

Definitely a Bank Swallow, and definitely a great photo.

On the ABA Rare Bird Alert public Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ABArare/), Joseph Miller talks about how the current Kansas American Flamingo is the same as one of the September 1 Ohio birds, and probably the same as the September 26 Missouri bird. "I thought it might be of general interest to know that I've been able to confirm that the AMERICAN FLAMINGO seen in Chase Co, KANSAS this week is one of the same birds seen in Warren Co, OHIO back on Sept. 1st and almost certainly the same bird seen in Clay Co, Missouri on Sep 26 through comparing a series of distinctive characteristics (as seen in the graphic below). It's incredible to think that this bird avoided detection for almost 4 weeks between Ohio and Missouri! I've written up a short article with more details and graphics at the link below."

They look similar to Duclair duck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duclair_duck and https://www.10000birds.com/manky-mallards-domestic-feral-or-just-plain-odd-mallards.htm. And seem similar enough to the Swedish duck photo herem https://thecapecoop.com/great-backyard-duck-breeds/.
