chipperatl 760 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Probably the best bird I have ever found. Bucket List bird - Self-found, Michigan Review Species, and in my home county. This potentially great shorebird spot had normal SOSA, WISN and KILL there, and that was disappointingly it. I drove down further to see the west side of the pond and freaked out when I saw this bird in my binoculars. https://ebird.org/checklist/S85623052 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll get them everywhere once you learn what they sound like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 869 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 This was from this morning and it was absolutely crazy (to me). This is the highest amount I’ve ever gotten on a checklist for this area and my second highest species count ever. Also added 2 new species so the hotspot is now at 149! One more to go... https://ebird.org/checklist/S85874247 Might have been possible to crack 60 if the stars had aligned as I was missing a few normal species, but still a very good day regardless.

That’s great. Getting a spot to 150 in the mountains is difficult. I bet you’ll hit it in the next week. Who knows, maybe you could get it close to 175 with a good migration.

Who knows, maybe you could get it close to 175 with a good migration. My biggest fear is that someone else will come and add the 150th species before I do! Only here for one more full day and a morning so hoping I can find something. Really trying for Sandhill cranes but none have flown over yet. I can’t quite remember, but I think my absolute max that is possible for this area/habitat is just below 200. I’m pretty sure I’ll get above 150 in May and June, but I know it will slow right down after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
