Peromyscus Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 33 minutes ago, DLecy said: I agree. @dragon49. Not sure if you are aware of exactly how rare they are, but something of that stature showing up only 15 minutes from your house may never happen again. Just saying. One of them has been reported this morning, @dragon49. I certainly would go if a mega was that close to my house. (The DC MacGillivray's Warbler (a DC first) was maybe 20 minutes from my house, and I went as soon as I could and saw it on its second day. It was reported from the 15th to the 18th, and not yesterday.) The birds near the entrance to the Everglades were only reported on eBird for three days, 10/16-10/18. The Key West birds were reported from the 14th through the 16th. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also ran into a birder this afternoon who told me that at the same hotspot there was a tree with tons of Warblers. At least one I remembered from the conversation (Tennessee Warbler) would be a lifer. I'll let you guys know if I go. In any event, I continue to chug along. Look at the lifers thread in 5-10 minutes. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 A White Wagtail has been reported from Marin County, California: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121265735 but photos not uploaded at this time "Bird found by Michele Swartout. Distinctive. Photos." I hope it sticks around so you northern Californians can see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the current reports indicate that two people saw it. This location is 5 minutes from my house, but I already have a White Wagtail at the same place the Willow Warbler was found, so I didn't chase it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Michigan may have a 2nd Limpkin, or the 1st one has moved farther inland. Also Vermillion Flycatcher looks like maybe a One-day Wonder in Marquette, MI.

Another birder mentioned this weekend, and I read again on Discord, these vagrant Limpkins won't migrate. They just stay until they succumb to the elements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some quick analysis a couple days ago. Using current Review List, this is the most review species seen in a single year in past 20 years of eBird data. The bar charts don't have subspecies that are review, like the Great White Heron seen this year. Prior to the Tropical/Couch's and Vermillion we are at 46 review species. So 47 species, 1 ssp. and 1 "/". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
