Hope it’s found again (only that one sighting this morning) or it’s hiding spot discovered. It’s a massive place for that guy to be hanging around… Keep us updated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The Southern Lapwing is still being seen today, and by tons of people! Moving around a lot though, apparently. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 There was a Common Redpoll reported in Florida ... !!! It's not confirmed in eBird though Via the weekly ABA rarity roundup: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/462132141 https://www.aba.org/rare-bird-alert-july-1-2022/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Michigan’s 1st Red-cockaded Woodpecker seen in Muskegon County on a Golf Course. Audio and video obtained. I believe this is the 4th State first this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless eBird is hiding birds in Tennessee and Kentucky, it looks like the closest birds to Michigan are in North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crazy when one showed up in northern Virginia (Annandale in Fairfax County) in 2007, and that was roughly only 140 miles from the nearest population in the southeast part of the state (Big Woods WMA in Sussex County, near Wakefield). The range map in the second edition big Sibley does not show the species in either Tennessee or Kentucky, so eBird doesn't seem to be hiding any locations. It looks like the Michigan location is very roughly 500 and more miles from any population of the species. As far as I know it's pretty sedentary, and is a southeastern pine forest specialist.

I'm assuming you are talking about current year on the map? I see Ohio had a sighting in 1975, and one in 2000 in Illinois. Regardless, this is a crazy sighting and would probably take the cake most years if not for this Southern Lapwing (assuming approved by MBRC).

I was referring to the last 10 years on eBird, which correlate with the 2nd edition big Sibley range map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dipped on my fair share as well. I once woke up at 3 am and drove 4 hours to see California's first (and still only) Yellow-browed Warbler, only to mill around with 80 other people looking for a bird that had taken off in the winds the night before. At least now you have a Common Redshank to chase... 29 minutes ago, chipperatl said: Common Redshank - Pte.

Early July tends to be the slowest time of year in CA, but by the end of the month southbound shorebirds start to shake things up. As a school administrator, it’s always a little painful to have this (July) be my biggest chunk of time off. It would be so sweet to have time off in September and October! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
