Connor Cochrane 3,677 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 I hit my 200th Year Bird for Marin county today (Cackling goose). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colton V 864 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'll try to come back to this when I get my 200th lifer, which is hopefully in the near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexHenry 1,894 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I’m at 199 in Contra Costa right now (county life list) with some very easy ones I could pick up... will be reporting back within the next week or so Edited January 24 by AlexHenry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IKLland 1,412 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I am at a total of 149, but hopefully can get to 150 today, because in my town there is a drainage pond, that I always bird. I hear a sora but never see it. I hear a grunting sound, that @Phalarope713told me was a Virginia rail, I count heard birds on my life list, so if I hear that today, boom I have 150. I will keep y’all updated on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IKLland 1,412 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Got 150 today! White faced ibis! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avery 2,208 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I can probably crack 300 this year, while I'm still in VT. When I go off to college that'll be easy. Just need 10 more! Redhead, Mourning Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Yellow-throated Vireo, Upland Sandpiper, Golden-winged Warbler, Orchard Oriole, Cliff Swallow, Iceland Gull and Black Tern are the ones I think I can get.

Not sure yet, still waiting for one more school that was a “I wonder what would happen” application. Right now, it’s between Full Sail in Florida and Middle Tennessee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Northeast is good for some things, but pure volume and variety seems like the West’s specialty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still think Plum Island (Essex Co., Massachusetts) is the best single birding spot in the US, in terms of seeing the most species in a single day at a single location...

That's true. Spring or Fall migration? I need to spend a day or two there at some point... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Depends what you’re looking for. Spring migration - especially the third week of May - is amazing. Lots of warblers, sparrows, shorebirds, lingering waterfowl, just very diverse. Fall migration is probably less variety overall, but GREAT for shorebirds! August and September are really good 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigOly 845 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 My 1000th bird although I lost forever several hundred birds photoed due to computer problems. That's ok, I still have most of the memories. Great Curassow 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jefferson Shank 2,682 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 300th day in a row submitting an eBird checklist! The most I did was 205 days. But I became to busy to keep it up... 😭😢😩 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avery 2,208 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I try to at least just look at the feeder for a minute and report the birds I see every day. Also, my route to school changes a little bit so I can troll for shrikes, which helps some days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avery 2,208 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Its funny, I've been creeping up on 300 just by sitting on my bed going through old photos. I found three from Europe, and have found a couple of birds I don't have a checklist for. 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
