dragon49 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'm still learning the boardwalk. This was my first late afternoon to early evening trip there, and the number of species was much better than when I'm there in the late morning or early to midafternoon. It was a very bad day for photos, but I always get a lot of good audio here and decided to upload more than I normally do. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121367972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Any day with a lifer is a good day. Got a Fox Sparrow at Floyd Lamb State Park (after a visit to Corn Creek) today. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121376029 https://ebird.org/checklist/S121375013 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 It was a good trip. Not a ton of species, but I don't think I missed much. I spent nearly three hours on the boardwalk and stuck around until after dark, hoping to actually see the barred owl I heard last night, but it was neither seen, nor heard. The only birds I saw that I couldn't identify at all were a flock of four small birds flying over quickly in bad lighting. My ears are tuned well to the sounds of the usual suspects at the hotspot. Merlin thinks she heard an Eastern Phoebe, as well as a Hermit Thrush, but I don't trust either ID, so, I didn't report them. The Short-tailed Hawk was a hotspot lifer. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121415939 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Nothing new, but it's always nice getting 50+ species on one checklist, especially when time is limited. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121473498 Edited October 29, 2022 by Zoroark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 https://ebird.org/checklist/S121500192 The regularly scheduled 'Last Saturday of the Month' walk at a local park. There were several notables for late October, including some personal first-of-season birds (Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Blue-headed Vireo, Yellow-rumped Warbler), some late end-of-summer hangers-on (Common Yellowthroat, Black-and-white Warbler), and a Rusty Blackbird in full breeding colors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Two checklists today: With a field guide leading this one, I was hoping to get a lifer or 2. No lifers, but I did get a photo lifer, a Bay-breasted Warbler: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121513329 Good day at the hotspot: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121504605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been traveling for more than a mile Does this mean anytime you have been birding and your route is over a mile, or does it mean if you drive to another location that is over a mile away?

Smaller distances and more precise data are generally preferred. In all honesty, I never stop a checklist at a mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I’m pretty sure ebird protocol is to stop checklists after 5 miles, not including any backtracking 37 minutes ago, IKLland said: Does this mean anytime you have been birding and your route is over a mile, or does it mean if you drive to another location that is over a mile away? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Two checklists today: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121558520 As usual, this place was awful for photo opportunities, but any checklist with a lifer (Pine Warbler) is a great checklist. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121571365 Great walk. Got some good photos. I'm surprised I was able to observe 29 species for the short (.64 miles) distance I covered. Now that I'm getting better at this, I need to dedicate a day to bird the entire 3.05 miles (+ the parking lot) of this hotspot, to see how many species I can find.

dragon49 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Technically yesterday's checklists. I had the best birding day of my life with the main one, having gotten 8 lifers! One of our county reviewers, as well as another very experienced birder were on the pier when I showed up. The day would have been much worse for me without them. See the checklist notes for details: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121713072 Second checklist as I chased a Reddish Egret into the parking lot across the street, hoping in vain for a photo op: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121714170 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced I saw and photographed the birds, but I must have uploaded the wrong batch. I'm keeping the observation but have deleted the eBird media. I uploaded them here now, if you are able to identify them: Edited November 2, 2022 by dragon49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
