Avery Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Not sure if the filters were funky, or if last night’s migration was good, but either way I’ll take it! https://ebird.org/checklist/S117532092 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Not bad for an afternoon walk on a hot day. I missed a Cooper's Hawk and Black-crowned Night Heron that others on the boardwalk spotted but am reasonably sure I picked out everything else that was visible or audible. https://ebird.org/checklist/S117546800 Edited August 25, 2022 by dragon49 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) We went up to the Mount Charleston area again for a day trip, with a visit to three of the usual locations. I've compiled the day into a trip report: https://ebird.org/tripreport/73378 Lots of goodies today, including both a lifer and a bird I haven't seen in over 20 years (Clark's Nutcracker)! Red Crossbill (lifer with photo and audio) Clark's Nutcracker (FOY with photo and audio) Red-breasted Nuthatch (FOY) Hermit Warbler (FOY) MacGillivray's Warbler (new for Clark County) This brings my year count to 325.

Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nothing much, but did get yearbird Cape May Warbler after high migration alert last night. https://ebird.org/checklist/S117948359 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I had taken a week off from my half-marathon birding hikes in the heat, but was back at it again, armed with my new Nikon Coolpix P1000. I appreciated having the extra zoom, as I took a number of shots at max zoom, which would have come out worse with a little more than half the zoom of my B6000.  See my checklist notes for more details about the trip. I've said this before, but my checklist comments had been hidden. I just changed my Ebird preferences to allow the public to see my comments. https://ebird.org/checklist/S117968882 Edited September 3, 2022 by dragon49 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Almost not worth the bump, but I'm past the time to edit the previous post, and I hate being inaccurate. I should have stated that the B6000 has a little less than half (60x, as opposed to 125x) the zoom of the P1000, not a little more than half.

dragon49 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It was a little slow for this hotspot, but I imagine this is a lot of action for the middle of the day in the 92° heat. https://ebird.org/checklist/S118025526 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I got to the hotspot a little more than 2 hours earlier than yesterday, which yielded 3 more species and 62 more birds than the previous hotter walk. https://ebird.org/checklist/S118080455 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 My first good numbers of shorebirds for the fall. I was working on non-birding related surveys, so the Red Knot was real nice to pick up when I wasn’t even focused on finding anything  https://ebird.org/checklist/S118120184  7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) This has been my best birding day since I started the adventure in January!  Here is paste of most of the checklist notes: I went out looking for Warbler lifers, and I wasn't disappointed.  The American Redstart and Yellow-throated Warbler were lifers. The Short-tailed Hawk was also a lifer. This is also the greatest number of species I've reported on a checklist. I'm also getting better at this. I heard a Loggerhead Shrike, while Merlin didn't pick it up at all! I wrestled with myself briefly, before deciding to go with my gut and report it. The bird did show itself a few minutes later to confirm my instincts, but I didn't want to post the pics of the bird from the back. https://ebird.org/checklist/S118156142 Edited September 5, 2022 by dragon49 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
