dragon49 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Two checklists today: https://ebird.org/checklist/S145706758 - Good number of species for the time of day and distance travelled. https://ebird.org/checklist/S145703103 - Decent checklist for the time of day and ground covered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I hadn't taken a proper neighborhood survey in a while. A tad disappointed with the species count, but otherwise what one would expect here this time of year: https://ebird.org/checklist/S145744709 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Fingers Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Went back to Lake Herman SP with my mom! We had a nice walk around the lake(forgot our water bottles, not nice), good weather and no bugs! https://ebird.org/checklist/S145822111 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My lens is broken, I’m getting a new one soon. For now I have to take digis. My friend will get his photos up when he gets a chance. Nice morning. https://ebird.org/checklist/S145921768 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Some warblers showed up early here, but I haven't been able to find them. I made a quick stop looking for a Prothonotary Warbler that wasn't there: https://ebird.org/checklist/S145934782 Decent checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S145938519 Great checklist! I got the Western Sandpiper lifer I was after: https://ebird.org/checklist/S145948647 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Ended up going back for another quick after sunset walk at the marsh after the annual Audubon bbq there. Not the better list than this morning’s list, but the list with the better birds. https://ebird.org/checklist/S145960758 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I have shared this list before, but just uploaded all of my photos, so I would appreciate if you would take a look! This was when @Quiscalus quiscula and I went birding. https://ebird.org/checklist/S144615912?view=photos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) Decent Checklist considering I was there in the middle of a 95° F Day. I'm the first person to have found a Yellow-billed Cuckoo at the hotspot since last October: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146024888 Edited July 30 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Another decent parking lot checklist. I did miss the Monk Parakeets though: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146105152 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will provide even more valuable data, as nobody really birds parking lots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My community is actually a hotspot, but I'm tired of walking around there, so I've been taking dedicated birding trips (no planned shopping) to this parking lot. I'll go to a different parking lot later in the week. Many of our county's parking lots are good spots for birding. Back in March, I drove an hour to a parking lot to get my Common Myna lifer, as it's the only reliable place in the county to find those birds. That parking lot does not have a water retention pond, but many of the local strip mall ones have one or more, which brings up more possibilities for birds.

All the parking lots here are awful for birds. Good for you birding random spots, collecting valuable data. We should all do more of that type of birding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Just a quick stationary to keep my checklist streak alive, and to contribute something to science today: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146184451 Edited August 1 by dragon49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) I took @IKLlands advice and birded a different parking lot today. Fewer species than my normal parking lot, and overall, a different avian character. This place does have a canal in the back, as well as a number of fruiting trees, so it has more potential, and I'll be back. https://ebird.org/checklist/S146262971 Edited August 2 by dragon49 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I went back to my main parking lot and had a great checklist. I set a species record for the personal location: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146343484 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My main parking lot was slower than yesterday, but nonetheless good for a parking lot. I'll have more variety over the weekend, and next week, will go to at least one different parking lot: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146416484 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Any checklist with a lifer (Wilson's Phalarope) is a great checklist! Decent number of species for the short distance travelled. I'd normally upload some Black-necked Stilt audio, but today, there was far too much noise from a water pump to get any good recordings: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146536783 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
