Probably the most I've gotten at one go is 70. 16 minutes ago, IKLland said: They roost in the valley right next to the town. Every morning Erlanger sunrise and every evening around sunset, the giant flock flies over. During the day, they disperse to all the different areas in the town. For example, a neighborhood walk in the middle of the day gets about 150ish crows. However, the giant counts that you’ll sometimes see on my checklists are all flyovers at sunrise and sunset. In fact, there’s more than 2000, it’s just that most of them are blocked by the hills. There’s probably closer to 4000, just how would I know? At different hotspot during the day in my area, you can get up to 200, still everywhere though. Here is today’s list. https://ebird.org/checklist/S102536468 Just a quick walk around the neighborhood. How many lifers would you guys get from this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Residential neighborhoods can be fun to bird. I've found some of my best rarities by walking good looking streets in residential areas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I worded that right. It’s a large residential town with streets with a few trees, but there are trails surrounding the town that have a bunch of birds. I count the one right next to my neighborhood for my neighborhood lists. There’s also a few drainage ponds about two miles from my house, so I often walk down there. Here’s that hotspot. https://ebird.org/hotspot/L4398256 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghann Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Liam texted me to let me know of a Barn Owl in town. A county bird for me. I needed to be home early, so the plan was to go down, get the bird, and then go home. Somehow, I tripped and birded for two hours instead. ?♀️ https://ebird.org/checklist/S102600469 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I've birded with him, we should fix that soon. Maybe when @Liam shows his face here in Georgia again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a Barn in a barn when I was young, but couldn't remember enough specifics to add it to my life list. Cool bird, although I don't think they are as attractive as some other owls.
