chipperatl 681 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Thought it would be flyover Canada Geese, it was American Crow flyovers instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s more than twice the amount of species for my whole province and more than half of the whole country that were reported today. Thinking about moving 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aveschapines 910 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I didn't see this last night but my guess would have been White-Eared or Rivoli's Hummingbird. They show up at the feeders outside my bedroom window at dawn. Sure enough it was a White-Eared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MerMaeve 393 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Happy New Year! My first bird of the year was an American Goldfinch. I got 32 species, which put me tied for second in our county. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aidan B 1,486 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) First bird for me was a Eurasian Wigeon, which was completely unexpected because it was lifer for me as well! I pulled up to the Doran Entrance Ponds and in the first flock I looked at was a stunning red headed duck, It completely drew my attention away from the other ducks, so that's why I say it's the first bird of the year. My second, third, and forth birds of the year were American Wigeon, Mallard, and Mew Gull. I ended with 84 species for the first day of 2021!
