IKLland Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Leave a link to your county’s rare alert link. I’m curious what other people have going on. Earlier this year, we had a Thick-Billed Kingbird from January to March, and a Mexican Duck from January to March! We STILL have the masked booby that arrived here in NOVEMBER! Orange County, Ca rare alert link: https://ebird.org/alert/summary?sid=SN35679&sortBy=obsDt&o=desc I’d love for you guys to share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Most of the birds that trip the alert are common subspecies in my county. Some birds I would say are rare don’t trip the alert either, so im not sure what’s up with that. But, we’ve had a few actual rare birds this year. We’ve had Rough-legged Hawk recently, a few Scaup, and some Gadwall (they didn’t trip the filter). Earlier we had some early shovelers, teal, and pintails, and a week or two ago I had a super early Marsh Wren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Most of ours at any given time are just early/late birds. https://ebird.org/alert/rba/US-MI-025 We have had 3 county firsts this year - Black-legged Kittiwake, Barrow's Goldeneye and Black-necked Stilt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My county has been pretty crazy, though these north winds have slowed things down a bit. Prothonotary Warbler a few weeks ago: Lifer for me, very hard in the county. Kentucky Warbler: Second county record, first on almost 20 years. Kirtland’s Warbler: Second County record! And on my friends sister’s land too. White-eyed Vireo: Probably a dozen or so previous records, but this was the first really chasable one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 There’s been a Lewis’ Woodpecker here for the last few days. Rare for the province. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird-Boys Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Someone posted a Lawrence's warbler (hybrid), but I don't think it's reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
