When I started I’d just sit outside in the evening with my phone in a bucket, and only identify the distinct ones.I picked up VIRA and Sora this way, along with Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers.

It's so funny to see these tiny birds in midair with their wings folded! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Can't get BirdCast data for anywhere right now! It just says: "No forecast data is available at this location. We generate forecasts from March 1st to June 1st and August 1st to November 15th during respective Spring and Fall migration seasons for the lower 48 states of the United States."

Aidan B Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I had my FOS Pine Siskin today, I guess it could have been an early migrant, although it's more likely it was a bird displaced by the fires. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
