Some action the past 24 hours: 2` Emperor Geese in Skagit County, WASHINGTON (down to 1 bird, hunters got the other one.) Lark Bunting in St. Clair County, MICHIGAN https://ebird.org/checklist/S98508906 Allen's Hummingbird in Cincinnati, OHIO (2nd state record) https://ebird.org/checklist/S98531011 Tropical Kingbird in Rockport, MASSACHUSETTS https://ebird.org/checklist/S98526761 Townsend's Solitaire in Hampden County, MASSACHUSETTS https://ebird.org/checklist/S98459439 Pink-footed Goose in Montgomery County, PENNSYLVANIA https://ebird.org/checklist/S98541096 Short-tailed Albatross on a pelagic off Lincoln County, OREGON

Here in Georgia, I've found that when I'm actively looking for them, I NEVER find them. It's always by accident.

Yep, Worm-eating.

Flickr and Instagram. (Well, and then ebird when I have a rarity.)

You got it!

You have a European Starling. (In non-breeding plumage)

Today: Eastern Phoebe in Island County, WASHINGTON https://ebird.org/checklist/S98516744 That was the only new one. The rest was discussion about previous birds. The Gray Kingbirds of ME and NY are still continuing, as well as the Elaenia species in Illinois, that is being highly cooperative by all accounts.

Due to the super in depth stuff I just read for Liam's weekly quiz, yes this is a Western, especially with that tail.

(redacted) I thought the bill was too thick for pipit, but now I'm not sure. I can say with 100% confidence that it is, without a doubt, a bird of some sort.

I watched it again with lots of pausing, and I'm pretty sure it is, so hopefully you can get a better look!

Hard to tell, but I think you've got your sapsucker. If there was red on top of the head, a big white wing stripe, and a yellow wash to the belly, that I think I can make out.

Yep, definitely a passerine with those feet.

Looks like a Merlin! Cool capture.

He's taking submissions from other users though, amd we have no idea who these photos are from. . .😁

My guess is a Cooper's Hawk.
