gjetson 0 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I'm in Pittsboro, NC (near Chapel Hill) and was surprised to see this gorgeous gal on a nearby pond. I believe this is a female Bufflehead, but I'm never seen one around here, so would appreciate confirmation. Thank you! Tom Skipper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s only 2 birds I could potentially see that would be lifers for me this winter, and both would be pretty unlikely. I’m soooo excited for this spring! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only regular breeders in my county are Yellow and Hooded Warblers, and of course Common Yellowthroats. I wasn’t able to see the HOWA last year, but that’s one of my priorities this spring! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, in the eastern half of Kansas, we do have breeding Prothonotary and Black-and-white... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Connor Cochrane 3,371 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 We don't have too many breeding warblers here. We have: Orange-crowned, Northern Parula have bred the last couple years, Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Gray, Hermit, MacGillvary's, Yellowthroat, and Wilson's. I know Chat's used to breed here as well, and Redstart have bred a few times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
