BirdNrd Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not a yardbird per say but first time seeing a female Lawrence's Goldfinch in the yard. The other times have just been males. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAEbirds Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It took me a minute to understand what you were all talking about, where I live having a bird feeder or counting how many species visit is such a foreign concept? it’s usually just the same House Sparrows and Bulbuls, it’s not worth counting. The only times you would see anything of note is when you’re out near water or desert, the most interesting thing you might see from your house is a Ring-necked Parakeet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernKeys Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Finally managed to get yard bird #100 with a small flock of Canvasbacks flying over! Never expected to get that many birds in a suburban neighbourhood, but flyovers can be crazy sometimes. https://ebird.org/checklist/S103697302 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I’m about 70% sure I had a Red-shouldered Hawk flyover yesterday. I got a late look at it as it glided over quickly, in a tuck. Not great looks but I thought I saw red on body, and wasn’t a long tail like a Cooper’s Hawk.. It was very smooth in flight, which everything I see/read says it should have been bouncing around some. Not confident enough that I wasn’t a Red-tailed heavily marked though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 My yard bird total here in NE Florida after only 3 1/2 years is at 109. Shocking compared to my yard bird totals living in Colorado. I didn't use ebird for that and I don't recall the exact number but believe it was in the 40s some where. I was good about recording yard birds our first year here but have tapered off to only if there is a year bird or a new yard bird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Red-breasted Merganser-#143, not bad I think for a tiny suburban yard! Also the most Rusties I've ever seen during migration here. https://ebird.org/checklist/S104991740 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Whoah, another waterfowl lifer for the yardlist! Two separate groups of Canvasbacks flying over during a late morning migration watch yesterday. And several yard FOYs. https://ebird.org/checklist/S105311354 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Just to add a little more to this thread. I see that 62 of my lifers are from my yard. 11 of them are warblers. I'd have never guessed that. Best one being Summer Tanager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent and best being Wilson’s Warbler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Got my first rare bird of the year (early) and a new yard bird! Today was a good birding day overall, got to 20+ species for the first time this year at the ponds, got to add a pair of golden eagles to my county and province list, added 9 year species, and finally was able to add mountain bluebirds as a lifer to ebird. Tried my luck to find the GGOW again with multiple SD cards, but nada. Though driving there gave me the bluebirds, eagles, and some others so it was worth the drive. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
