chipperatl Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Whoo-hoo - Yard bird #157 - Merlin hanging out on a treetop. Was gone by time I went in and got the camera. Thankfully it was fanning its tail, or I might not have been able to call it for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Advantage to being awake since 3, with windows wide-open....you get to hear yard bird #158 Greater Yellowlegs calling as it flew over at 5 a.m. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpa Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 #60 - Common Nighthawk Random and unexpected flyover that I wouldn’t have noticed if not for the call I didn’t recognize. Also my 250th state bird. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Red-shouldered Hawk! Very much an oddball bird here, considering habitat. They just don't come here. They're common in forests (mainly riparian) but anywhere else in my area they're basically nonexistent. Kind of cool to see.

Connor Cochrane Posted Wednesday at 05:20 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:20 AM #114 for the non-NFC list flew over this afternoon, a nice immature Bald Eagle. That puts me somewhere in the high 130s or low 140s with NFCs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted Wednesday at 04:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:32 PM I’m at 43, and 44 if you count the certainly non-native Northern Cardinal. My yard is really tiny, so I don’t get many birds other then the WCSPs, SOSPs, BEWRs, MODOs, HOFIs, LEGOs, AMCRs, and OCWA. Those are here every day, but other than that it’s pretty random. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted Wednesday at 05:59 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:59 PM 62 for the year, 180 all time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted Thursday at 02:52 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:52 AM I'm still impressed by folks who have yard lists with over 100 species. Even with 558 lists in my yard, I only have 50 species, and around 10 of those were fly-overs. Oh well, guess that's what being in the suburbs is like. Here's what my bar charts look like. Meanwhile, at my aunt's house in South Carolina, I've seen 58 different birds on only 33 checklists. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted Thursday at 04:48 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:48 AM My diurnal bar charts are too long to share easily, but here's a snapshot form NFCs. I hope to get the recorder out more this next spring and fall to fill in some gaps and hopefully get some new birds over the yard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have twenty acres as my backyard, so getting 180 is just a matter of getting out there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
