I’m thinking about heading down there for it over spring break if it’s still there. You need a scope, right? It wasn't that difficult, it showed up with 45 minutes of scoping. The difficult part was identifying it, I had to watch it for around 20 minutes before I felt confident calling it the LIST. You do need a scope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m super busy for the next upcoming weeks, but maybe over spring break in early April I get try for it. It’s been pretty slow in my county, most of the good stuff in in LA or San Diego.

Unfortunately, no way I'm going to be able to convince my parents to drive me that far. I'd suggest that even if they offered, a three hour drive to go and stare at a thousand white geese looking for a slightly different one isn't conducive to a future offer anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, true. Still, I bet I'd get some other waterfowl to add to my life list if I went there- it's practically inevitable since I've only seen four duck species and haven't even seen Snow Geese yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birders around here always look for them heading south in the fall along Lake Michigan. Crazy record once I looked at the range map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First record for BC. I just hopped onto Instagram and the first six posts on my feed were all of this bird from different local birders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
