dragon49 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Not a lot going here, but I did get the Cave Swallow lifer I was after. This place has lots more to offer, but I was stationary most of the time, trying hard to get recognizable photos of the bird. I ended up getting a good enough screengrab from a vid. I'll have to go back and walk around some more: https://ebird.org/checklist/S130764668 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Found this riparian area near my house. Looks like it can be pretty good during migration. https://ebird.org/checklist/S130805988 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 No Yellow-rumped Warblers on either checklist. Looks like they are leaving town. I recently spoke with a local birder who noticed fewer around these days as well. Not much to comment on for the first one. Normal stuff for the area. I should be seeing more species this time of day though. The highlight was being able to capture good audio of a Red-bellied Woodpecker call. I've uploaded RBWO audio before, but never this call: https://ebird.org/checklist/S130964905 I got the Red-crowned Parrot lifer I was after! I'd never been here, so I showed up earlier than the anticipated flyover, walked around the neighborhood, and ended up with a decent checklist with some good photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S131001440 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Not a lot going on here. No proper walks today, but I had a little time to keep my checklist streak alive. It was nice to see a Black Vulture, as the vultures around these parts are almost exclusively TUVUs: https://ebird.org/checklist/S131056022 Edited March 16 by dragon49 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 https://ebird.org/checklist/S131218405 Just a nice day for a walk. 42F and the snow is melting, listening to singing birds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the balmy weather! We’re having similar weather over here, haven’t been able to bird much lately though.

dragon49 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) I took it slow today. I did get a surprisingly good number of species on the last checklist though: https://ebird.org/checklist/S131306682 I wasn't expecting much here this time of day - https://ebird.org/checklist/S131310143 I'm may add one species to this list if I can get a species determined from some awful photos, but the checklist is otherwise complete: https://ebird.org/checklist/S131327121 Edited March 20 by dragon49 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) It takes some luck for me to get a 20-species list in the backyard. This time I was helped by a couple of flyovers (Bald Eagle and two Red-Taileds) and some birds that are not uncommon but don't pass through the yard very often (Eastern Phoebe, American Robin). I wouldn't have needed as many of those lucky birds if some of the regulars had shown up (Carolina Wren, Blue Jay, Red-winged, maybe a flyover Osprey). https://ebird.org/checklist/S131306884 Edited March 20 by Charlie Spencer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Not much going on here. Somebody recently reported a few Common Mynas in a local Walmart parking lot, so I drove down in a failed attempt to get the lifer. - https://ebird.org/checklist/S131371127 The main list. It's an OK checklist. I was mainly here to get a Blue-winged Warbler lifer, but the bird was nowhere to be found. - https://ebird.org/checklist/S131405754 I wasn't expecting much here this time of day -https://ebird.org/checklist/S131406995 Edited March 20 by dragon49 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Still no Common Myna lifers here, but I did later get intel on a better spot to find the bird: https://ebird.org/checklist/S131449014 Not much going on here, but I only stayed in one area looking for a bird. I did get the White-crowned Pigeon lifer I was after though! I also discovered a new hotspot: https://ebird.org/checklist/S131484243 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) A trip to the local bird preserve in the high winds in search of a Chestnut-sided Warbler didn't turn up the rarity, but the swallow activity was high. Two of them (Cliff and Violet-green) were new for the year, as well as a Yellow-headed Blackbird. https://ebird.org/checklist/S131558283 Edited March 22 by Zoroark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) My original plan was to stay only 30 minutes and either get a Blue-winged Warbler lifer or not. The bird continues to elude me, but the refuge is so precious that I couldn't help to stick around until it was too dark to take pictures. I looked up last light for the area today, and I technically had one-minute left. Decent checklist for the area. I could have observed more species, but I was only concentrating on areas where I thought I'd have the best chance to spot the BWWA that I suspect has left town. https://ebird.org/checklist/S131568596 Edited March 23 by dragon49 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
