dragon49 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 A couple of quick hits on the refuge after an early dinner. I was hoping for, but not expecting a Yellow Warbler, and/or a Yellow-throated Vireo lifer. Didn't find either, but nonetheless, had decent checklists for the time spent at the hotspots: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149151588 https://ebird.org/checklist/S149156207 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) I was unable to find the lifer Acadian Flycatcher I was after. It's often normal for this spot to be this slow: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149216974 Edited September 7 by dragon49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely rare for Florida, but one showed up nearby. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Good checklist on the boardwalk. Always fun to capture Owl audio, especially in the middle of the day: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149549405 Just a quick checklist, only birding the hotspot parking lot, and whatever else I could see and hear from my location: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149551763 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 A little slow. I've only been coming here for the warblers. I may wait to go back until it's a little later in the season: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149635083 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I punted on the Cerulean Warbler lifer but got a Blackburnian lifer instead. Otherwise, decent number of species for the short distance travelled: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149742102 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 https://ebird.org/checklist/S149779277 Great morning before class! Always hard to have the time crunch but I managed to get a bunch of FoF birds. RBGR, GWWA, BTNW, PHVI, and PAWA. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 3 new county birds (OSFL, WIFL, EASO), and lots of warbler action! https://ebird.org/checklist/S149937161 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Not much going on here, but I did get my Buff-breasted Sandpiper lifer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149971937 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Includes the earliest fall record of Clay-colored Sparrows for the county and re-finding a county rarity that I haven't seen since August. https://ebird.org/checklist/S150020859 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Checked an irrigation pond that hadn't been eBirded in a few weeks. Every time I've gone here, something cool has shown up! First time was 1st county record BBWD, second was rare AMAV and STSA, and today was a trio of BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS (my fav!) along with a bunch of other cool stuff. They ran right up to us, within 10 feet! Can't wait to see the photos the other birder I was with got, he has a much better camera! https://ebird.org/checklist/S150037550 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 (edited) I went here first, looking for an American Golden-Plover lifer, as somebody reported it had been hanging around with the Black-bellied Plovers, but by the time I got there, it had left. An otherwise OK checklist for the time spent and distance travelled: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150066440 Then, I drove down the road a little bit and got my American Golden-Plover lifer. Good checklist otherwise. Had the storm not come, I would hung around longer, travelled farther, and gotten some additional species: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150061345 Edited September 17 by dragon49 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I took a day off from chasing lifers, (or so I thought 🙂) and went for a nice hike at my favorite place in the world. I got more species and more birds taking the same path last week, but I'm certain that was due to me having gotten there before sunrise. I slept later today. It was a great trip, nonetheless. https://ebird.org/checklist/S150138706 I was in my car about to go home, when I got an alert of a Neotropic Cormorant 15 minutes away. I needed the lifer, preferably in-county, and they very rarely show up here, so I ran down, showed up just as the afternoon thunderstorm hit, and achieved my goal: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150153264 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Hit up Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port A yesterday to chase a BTYW, but instead found Prairie Warbler and American Bittern for my Nueces County, Texas list, #298 and #299, respectively. https://ebird.org/checklist/S150127103 Edited September 18 by Liam poops 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
