Orange-crowned Warbler

birdie 🐦 #38: 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟩 Another embarrassing one. I also thought I had already used the second word in its name. I need my coffee. ☕

I'm certainly not itching to go outside in this heat. 😅 Don't expect any checklists from me for a bit, unless I go up the mountain or see something interesting in the yard.

birdie 🦢 #36: 🟨🟨🟩⬛⬛⬛ @PalmWarblerI guessed the two "obvious" ones first, but yes, the habitat is important for getting this one quickly. I have not seen today's bird.

When I was in South Carolina, my crow counts were based on sounds. When they didn't vocalize, I just put down "crow sp."

Osprey

birdie 🦉 #35: 🟥🟨🟨🟩⬛⬛ This was one of my favorite birds when I was young. I have photographed it. I've learned that it's best to not waste a guess by putting nothing. Even if you haven't the foggiest, at least put in a bird with a color or with common, American, northern, winged, tailed, or headed in its name. I've been playing this game without a field guide and treating it as a way to test my knowledge. However, it's perfectly fine to play with a field guide, as then it's a test in your ability to use the tools at your disposal.

I'd have 25 (all minus Barn Swallow and the four that are invasive in the US). I really do need to bird outside the US someday.
