Connor Cochrane Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Olive-sided are really tricky to get a good photo of. They're always perched way up high and usually far away.

Birding Boy Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Hard to find one lower down than 50 feet, but here’s an immature that was closer last week. Edited September 12, 2021 by Birding Boy 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I just compiled a list for this topic. It's the most commonly e-birded birds in the US ranked from most common to rarest, with species we've done overlaid in green. Some interesting statistics: Our least reported bird that we've done for this topic is American Bittern (352), barley beating out Olive-sided Flycatcher (332). The most common bird we haven't done is Northern Cardinal (2). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zm2umE6cYi9UnCkfdfkHo-JfKSaVErcu0rZvqEwnaQ0/edit?usp=sharing 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only place I've seen where it reports percentages. I've clicked around a bunch and not found a way to do this in general.

Had a Prairie Warbler and Bullock's Oriole last week, and a couple of fly-overs, White-faced Ibis and Yellow-crowned Night-Heron ? I had a Common Loon fly-over a couple of years ago.
