dragon49 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 A local reviewer sent me an email and corrected my Northern Mockingbird ID to Gray Kingbird, so I changed the media and adjusted the count for both species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Whether this surpasses last week's trip as my best birding trip is too close to call, after all, last Saturday, I got 2 lifers, and today, I only got 1, ? but today I saw more species and a lot more birds. See the checklist notes for more details on my half-marathon walk in the 90-degree heat. https://ebird.org/checklist/S116447719 Edited August 7, 2022 by dragon49 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I edited the above-linked checklist and changed 30 Barn Swallows to one Barn Swallow, added one Tree Swallow, and 28 swallow.sp. It wasn't logical for me to have originally assumed all the swallows were Barn Swallows after I got one individual identified. After all the work and research I did for the two IDs, my field eyes will be better tuned to recognize the different types of Swallows, but for this checklist, the right thing to do was to report the 28 swallow.sp. I put comments for the species to explain my reporting choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Too late to edit, but I changed the counts to two Barn Swallows (2 different time-stamped vids) and 27 swallow.sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lighting is super nice. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/473189381 It's all a matter of me separating myself from my mattress early enough on the weekends to get some good A.M. shots. ? My work schedule prohibits early A.M. birding walks during the week, which is why there are sometimes issues with the lighting on my weekday pics. Yesterday, sunrise was at 6:47 A.M., and I took the pic at the beginning of the trip at 7:39 A.M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) While in New York, I saw the Rare Bird Alert back home had been going mad at the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve with a first for Nevada: a Tricolored Heron. I figured I might as well endure another hot, humid day and check it out. In addition to the heron, I got a lifer Stilt Sandpiper. Of interest, someone nearby ushered everyone over to check out a Lark Bunting, which would be pretty incredible for the area as well. I unfortunately did not lay my eyes on it, and only two others saw it in flight. Nobody got a photo. Another miss was a Snowy Plover, which would've been a potential lifer as well; I also missed a potential FOY: several Marbled Godwits. https://ebird.org/checklist/S116572703 Edited August 8, 2022 by Zoroark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to go through my photos again and find it. One of the more experienced birders (one who saw the Lark Bunting) confirmed one of them as a Stilt Sandpiper in the field.
