Jodi Nielson Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Black-bellied Whistling-Duck...apparently pretty uncommon in Bowling Green, KY. There were 5 of them at the lake this afternoon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I feel good about finally capturing this Bay-breasted Warbler. I'm confident I saw the correct bird my two previous sightings, as a field guide, and another experienced birder told me exactly what I was looking at, but I didn't get a good look at the features. While the sightings did meet the technical qualifications for a lifer, I've always felt guilty about this particular one: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/498723561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a number of experienced birders who are part of this shared checklist, so it would have been embarrassing to have gotten busted for this one. 🙂 I'm glad I refreshed the forum before dinner. Hopefully, I caught it before anybody noticed. I deleted my bay-breasted warbler observation and added the photos to the Northern Parula section. So, the Bay-Breasted warbler remains one of twelve of my photo nemeses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Back on October 1st, my report of having observed a House Funch lifer was in error, as I had seen at least one of the birds at a family feeder in New York, back in 2018. I just found a photo of one of the birds on my iPhone. I had intended on adding it to my eBird catchup lifers when I joined but forgot to. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/504088511 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 My only other sighting of a Pomarine Jaeger was through a scope, and I didn't think to take a picture.

Birds are cool Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Common bird, but since i live out in the country, I don't usually see them. Yesterday, I was in the car, and a male landed close to me. I was able to take multiple photos of the bird. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found they were pretty shy and don't really come out in the open that much. I was never able to get any good looks at them when I was in Costa Rica last year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
