dragon49 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Any checklist with two lifers (Ruddy Turnstone and Sanderling) is a great checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121808337 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Saturday's checklist: I hadn't taken a half-marathon birding hike since September, and it was about time. 🙂 Awesome day! I got the American Wigeon lifer, and I'm reasonably sure this is the most species I've reported. See my long checklist notes for details about the day. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121919041 Sunday's first checklist: A quick hit and run the get the Florida Scrub Jay lifer. I prefer lifers in my county for the friendly species count competition, but the Florida Scrub Jay has been extinct in Palm beach County since 2018.  I almost left after five minutes when I spotted the bird but decided to stick around just a little while. The timing did work out perfectly though, as while working on the second checklist, I was at the right place at the right time to meet somebody who pointed out the Wilsson's Snipe Lifer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121957507 Sunday's second checklist. A good day at the hotspot, and I got the Wilson's Snipe lifer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121976020 Today's checklist: Good number of species for starting a checklist in the heat of the middle of the day. I got a Northern Harrier photo lifer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122037669   Edited November 8, 2022 by dragon49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Went out birding from my family's boat today. Took six hours, but I managed to cover the whole lake! Highlights included three Golden Eagles, a Red-breasted Merganser, somewhere in the range of 50 Common Loons, at least 190 Lewis's Woodpeckers, Several Bonaparte's Gulls, and nearly 2500 Coots! Surprisingly missed Pacific Loon, which I had never missed here before. https://ebird.org/tripreport/84333 Edited November 12, 2022 by Aidan B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Any checklist with a lifer (American Crow) is an awesome checklist! I was on a mission to find the species, and the mission was successful: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122290368 Edited November 13, 2022 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Too late to edit the last post, as I normally include multiple, daily checklists with one post here. I did submit a second checklist today. Not a big mission like the first one, but I was hoping to spot a Red-breasted Merganser, as I need it for a lifer, and they've started showing up here, but none were to be found: Not a lot of species, but that can be normal for this pier. I was limited also, as the eastern edge of the pier was blocked off. This inaccessible section is the best birding area at the hotspot. It was most-likely blocked off due to some damage from Hurricane Nicole. https://ebird.org/checklist/S122308079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) It would have been a good day without the Ruby-crowned Kinglet lifer, but with the new ID, it was a great day. I probably overdid it with all the Northern Harrier photos, but it is a new bird for me, and I'm having fun keeping the different memories. https://ebird.org/checklist/S122364074 Edited November 13, 2022 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Two checklists today: Great day at the hotspot, not just for birding, as I got a long-sought-after mammal lifer when I spotted two Bobcats: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122419827 Good day at this hotspot as well: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122428337 Edited November 14, 2022 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Today was a semi-rest day, and I wasn't expecting a log of species, given the places I was going to. I did get some good decent photos though. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a hotspot lifer for the first checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122466028 I explored some small trails that I hadn't been on before: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122468050  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Great day at the hotspot. I got a lifer, the Yellow Rumped Warbler, and five more species than the same place on Monday.  https://ebird.org/checklist/S122528217 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Nice grounds. This was my first time here. I succeeded on my mission to get some lifers. The Gadwall, Ring-necked Duck, and Spotted Sandpiper were all lifers. https://ebird.org/checklist/S122564797 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I still have more photos to upload, but here’s the list. https://ebird.org/checklist/S122627996 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) I started the checklist at an odd time of day for this place, and there were many long, lulls without any birds at all, but getting two lifers, the Orange-crowned Warbler, and Great Horned Owl, was well worth it. https://ebird.org/checklist/S122625543 A brief, stationary, nocturnal checklist quickly got me the unmistakable sounds of an Eastern Whip-poor-will lifer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122630033 Edited November 19, 2022 by dragon49 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Whew, two lifers in one checklist?!?! I guess that's Whitefish point for ya! Words can't describe how hyped I was to find my lifer Boreal Chickadee - enjoy my extremely rushed photography attempts 😅Apparently the first fall record for the point in 6 years of this species that is sadly declining in Michigan. 2nd lifer was some nemesis-no-more Red Crossbills flyover! eBird Checklist - 18 Nov 2022 - Whitefish Point - 33 species (+1 other taxa) Also, 1st time I've ever had to do a write up for a CANG. Feels weird....   Edited November 19, 2022 by Birding Boy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Two checklists today: I joined an Audobon Everglades guided tour, but our guide is not on eBird, so I kept the list. I'll be changing the number of participants and sharing it out by tomorrow the latest. Come back late tomorrow or Monday for more pictures. Lots of people with better lenses than I were on the trip, so hopefully, there will be a lot of great photos. The only great pic I took was of the Loggerhead Shrike: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122650945 I discovered more tails on the refuge: https://ebird.org/checklist/S122662248 Edited November 19, 2022 by dragon49 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Good day yesterday! My first time birding Mariposa county! Got yearbird Costa's Hummingbird, plus a Barrow's Goldeneye which is quite rare for the county. https://ebird.org/checklist/S122691869 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
