dragon49 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) An average day in the neighborhood. I was unable to identify two flyovers but picked out the rest of the visual IDs and calls. https://ebird.org/checklist/S113538977 Edited June 22 by dragon49 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have 25 (all minus Barn Swallow and the four that are invasive in the US). I really do need to bird outside the US someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Absolutely nothing special here. We're installing a software upgrade on an application server. I could sit in the A/C and watch the progress bar creep across the screen for an hour-plus, or walk the perimeter of the plant property at 90F. Guess which one I chose? https://ebird.org/checklist/S113692160 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I report Fish Crows almost every day, as all I ever hear are their nasal calls. I need an American Crow for a lifer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange County, Ca. It’s around 15 degrees hotter ten miles inland than right on the coast, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a group this morning, we heard one of each. Otherwise, I agree with @Zoroark: if I don't hear it, 'crow sp.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I'm running out of things to say before the checklist paste. I added some details to the Ebird checklist description. I didn't feel like sharing the following with Ebird, but if anybody is interested, there were lots of annoying gnats landing on my face while I was taking photos. https://ebird.org/checklist/S113752813 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) I'm certainly not itching to go outside in this heat. 😅 Don't expect any checklists from me for a bit, unless I go up the mountain or see something interesting in the yard.

dragon49 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) I don't come to this hotspot much but showed up to find the American White Pelican that people have been reporting here, as I need it for a lifer. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found, but I had a good trip, nonetheless. https://ebird.org/checklist/S113834698 Edited June 26 by dragon49 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a challenge to do my best to count the Wood Storks. My counts tend to be higher than others. I assume you are familiar with Green Cay as well. If you haven't been there, you definitely need to check out the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. The Marsh Trail is the popular birding spot there, but the seemingly never-ending Levee Trail is an awesome spot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest not doing it in most situations, especially in sunlight, as it makes the colors look weird as shown in your Limpkin shots.

I see nothing to indicate the use of flash in any of the photos on that checklist. The Limpkin photos show a bird partially shaded from full sunshine. The sunlight is falling on the grass behind the shaded shoulder of the bird whereas flash would have to highlight the shoulder in order to be that bright on the grass behind it.
