My other travels took me back around close enough I tried again. High count for the county for eBird of 203 Lapland Longspur. Probably more that were out of the frame of the photo I chose to count. One of my other pics have have shown more also, but who want to count over and over again. https://ebird.org/checklist/S101208067 Man! That makes the count of 6-8 I had earlier today look pitiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Winter birding here is sad...Can't really get more than 5 species on a checklist, and I've given up trying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yesterday me and another dude found a bunch of redpolls at a park quite close to me. He had a Hoary, but they all flew before I could get on them. Today I went back and found it, and what I think is another one. Great birds for my county! https://ebird.org/checklist/S101363800 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s awesome! Two irruption winters in a row? I’m getting spoiled. But this is nuts, a huge flock only 10-15 minutes from my house is pretty great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Got some birding in before the 1-2 feet of snow we’re supposed to get tomorrow-Thursday. Biggest list I’ve ever had in my county during the winter. Almost got to 50sp. https://ebird.org/checklist/S101848390 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a super fun outing, can't wait to try an all day thing in peak migration in May. Who knows, if I can get 48 species in the "Dead of winter" maybe 100 sp will be possible? 16 hours ago, IKLland said: Man, nice list! Great shots too! This place is awesome for passerine photography! Photography wasn't really my objective at the time, I was mainly trying to find more birds, but I should go another day and try to get more sparrow shots and stuff. 19 hours ago, Quiscalus quiscula said: I would've gotten 14 lifers... Which ones? Mainly waterfowl? I'm sure you'll get all of these come spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, mainly waterfowl, but also the Red-headed Woodpecker and my nemesis Eastern Towhee, and somehow I haven't gotten a Swamp Sparrow yet.

I think the woodpecker and Swans will be the toughest in your area. We get barely any all year that come through VT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
