Michelle Summers Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 5 minutes ago, PalmWarbler said: I wish I even had a Yellow-billed 😭 They nest here ❤️ We are fortunate down here, in Texas, because we have Summer Birds, Winter Birds AND migrants passing through twice a year. If you live very far north, you lose some of the variety. We also have lots of variety of habitat. You'll have to come visit Texas one day. Kevin and I can show you some birds and really get your life list up 😃 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I've never seen an Olive-sided Flycatcher -- that I know of. The closest I've gotten is a Western Wood-Pewee (once). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had been able to find it I definitely would have let you know. Yesterday though I had hopes I had found one though! This was my first view, the tail looked ok for Black-billed. The next angle I got I saw this, on the camera I couldn't tell the bill wasn't all black. But around the eye is not red, but I maybe a young bird....(My hopes are starting to rise) And then it all comes crashing down! 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Also, strangely, since we are doing these this week, I got an Olive-sided Flycatcher two day ago, I saw it first in the morning flying, but later I was out doing some work, and I saw it sitting in the top of one of the trees down be the creek. I ran into the house, grabbed my camera when flying back out the door, but it was gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sorry!! You would have had to stay all day, to see them. They very rarely landed within view this year. You are always welcome at my place!! I had a serious good warbler day last week...Prairie, Wilson's, Black-throated Green, Yellow, Nashville and Mourning Warblers, but the Prairie only showed one day. You have more yard birds than I do, so it never occurred to me that you would need the ducks, because they seem so common. We aren't far apart, it seems, but it makes a difference for some birds. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next week, before migration is over 😃 You never know what birds you'll find this time of year 😃 Now I will have to go stack some new stepping stones at the creek, I had some really good ones, a four year old could have got across them! But when the county last bladed the road they disappeared. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
