I'll pay more attention when speaking, so I actually sound like a birder. ? There are many more Mottled Ducks in my area than Limpkins, but the lakes and canals produce enough apple snails to keep some around. Yep, Grebe should be pronounced "greeb" actually. I pronounced it wrong for several months myself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up and I THINK it's the right way. EDIT- I think you misunderstood me, "greeb" is the right way, and I pronounced it wrongly as "grayb" for several months.

dragon49 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Two checklists today: Boring, but well worth the time to get the Carolina Wren photo lifer: I normally only post high-quality pictures of Red-shouldered Hawks, but this one was a photo lifer for the hotspot, so I had to add some of what I had. https://ebird.org/checklist/S120705148 Any checklist with two lifers (Blue Grosbeak and House Wren) is an awesome checklist! https://ebird.org/checklist/S120711257 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We just had our fall garage sale, which meant a lot of sitting around in front of the house again for two days. On Saturday, I had a friend over, so we chatted a lot and had music going while plenty of people shopped. However, today it was just me and only five customers showed up all morning, so I could watch and listen to a huge variety of birds.

dragon49 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Two checklists today: This was the most species I've reported on this short boardwalk trail. I'm getting to know the path better, and I did spend a lot of time here, walking it 3 or 4 times. I normally do not upload so many bad pictures, but I don't have too many photo lifers for this hotspot, and like to keep a few photo memories of all hotspot species I find: https://ebird.org/checklist/S120771934 Good day at the hotspot: https://ebird.org/checklist/S120784897 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 https://ebird.org/checklist/S120806317 Slightly late TEWA, checklist with few species but I can't exactly make birds appear. Species count goes down here this time of year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Good day in the neighborhood. If I wasn't so obsessed with taking pictures, I could have walked farther with my allotted time and spotted more species. https://ebird.org/checklist/S120889042 Edited October 18, 2022 by dragon49 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Two checklists today: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121006578 - The boardwalk has been slow for me, except for early in the A.M. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121011318 - A lot of species for the shot distance and relatively short walk, and most importantly, 2 lifers, The Eastern Phoebe and Indigo Bunting. The White-eyed Vireo was a hotspot lifer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Good day in the neighborhood. I could have walked further and gotten more species, but I used a lof of my allotted time looking for warblers in some of the trees: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121050571 Edited October 21, 2022 by dragon49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) This place can be boring, but it has potential, so I'll keep going back: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121097194 Incredible trip! This is the most species I've reported on a checklist, and I got a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker lifer. In addition, I got a great photo of a recent lifer, Eastern Phoebe. My only other photo of the species from that lifer checklist is badly out of focus. Edit - I also got my best photo of a Sora. My only other photo is pretty bad. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121113600 Edited October 22, 2022 by dragon49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Did a LOT of birding yesterday! Started with owling than did the mountains, oak woodland, and waterfowl. So many Pygmy-owls! Long-eared Owl was by far the best bird of the day! https://ebird.org/tripreport/81411 Edited October 23, 2022 by Aidan B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Incredible checklist, as I got 4 lifers, including the Mega-Rare Red-legged Honeycreeper. The other lifers were the Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Summer Tanager, and Tennessee Warbler. See the checklist notes for more derails. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121171306 Pretty boring, but I know this place has a lot more to offer. I need to go back with some birders who know the place well: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121178053 Edited October 23, 2022 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 https://ebird.org/checklist/S121235451 Just made twenty species! Birding here is kind of slow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Good day in the neighborhood. While I'm still spending a lot of time looking for warblers in trees and bushes, my checklists from this hotspot are going to have fewer species than they normally would have had. Had I taken another 10 minutes to walk the next section of the canal, I'm certain I could have observed some more of the common species here, such as Anhinga, Great Egret, Green Heron, and Little Blue Heron. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121243871 Edited October 24, 2022 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
