I'll definitely try for it if it gets refound, but it sounds like they haven't had any luck since the initial sighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll be able to make it tomorrow, and I have CBCs the next few days after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds are cool Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Lots of rare birds right now. Anybody who lives in Washington? Common Crane. https://ebird.org/checklist/S125214152?view=photos @DLecy your Red-flanked Bluetail.

Common Crane. https://ebird.org/checklist/S125214152?view=photos Yea, but I probably won’t be able to chase this bird. Hard to swing a 4 hour trip these days with a baby at home. I haven’t even checked to see if it’s still around today. There’s also a Whooper Swan that showed up yesterday in King Co, WA and was refound this afternoon. Closer to home but still an hour drive one way. Thankfully I saw one last year in a neighboring county but it would be cool to see one in mine. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be the same bird from last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's now, without traffic. I don't have the daylight to chase it before or after work, so, this would have to be a weekend trip. I'm going to pass. The other problem with these long trips is that I could potentially not find the bird. Appreciate the continued tagging though - please keep doing it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dipped on the Whooper (would've stayed longer if I hadn't seen one last year) but did get the Common Crane. It was sooo far out in the field but at least got and identifiable pic 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather get this lifer as a county lifer, and Bahamian Mockingbirds were around my county last year. I don't remember the dates, but I do get the rare Bird alerts.
