Another potential 'Unfortunate Event' story that never got started. Our loss. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...let's just say that I didn't have the necessary local knowledge to get to my destination; I didn't realize I'd have to drive over 3 miles on what was pretty much a glorified hiking path, filled with rocks, holes, an overflowing swamp or two...I turned around before I got stuck in a very remote place with no cell service. I may try hiking in next time if I'm more prepared. Ended up birding the nearby Copper Harbor. Not too much to say here, found a very late Indigo Bunting, broke the state's previous American Goldfinch high-count (I had over 18 hundred migrants in the span of 1 1/2 hours), and found my first redpolls of the year. Did you take 41 too far East? Loved that two-track in my Jeep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five more lifers! 🤞 That would be 100 ahead of me 😒.....I guess 230 isn't too bad for only having birded basically one state this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that far out of the Top 100 for the state, and this seemed like an especially good year. Pre-Covid you'd be right near that 100th place for the FY. Still 6 weeks left. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just got my first SAT results back, ended up getting a 1530. A good start, but hopefully I can improve later on in the spring. This upcoming year is going to mean focusing a lot on getting into college, so that's going to mean a lot less time for birding. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, for my generation, a 1530 meant sit back and relax, confident you'd get at least one of your first two or three choices.

Clearly something important like the potty habits of California gulls - reverse engineering their precision aiming systems for military use to be exact.

Quiscalus quiscula Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Happy Thanksgiving! Haven't been on here lately, as I've been very busy with orchestra, homework, etc. I haven't been birding for weeks 😢. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there are not many birds, but today, there were a few warblers, and what would have been a great photo of a Eastern Phoebe. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
