Peromyscus Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 This may be the best thread for these events. 25 Anhingas in NEW YORK STATE this afternoon/evening! https://ebird.org/checklist/S134665047 is from the personal hotspot called Anhinga Insanity, Muck Rd (Rome), in Oneida County, New York. The state's new high count. Also, this morning, there were 27 Anhingas (17 yesterday evening) at Wilde Lake, Columbia, Maryland, a 45 minute drive from my house. I couldn't make it up there until early afternoon, when I saw 2. I don't know where the other 25 had gone. I'm also not sure if this is a high count for Maryland or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Anhingas would be much better off going to California! our smelly homeless filled rent a closet for 1000$ a month cities are way better than in New York 🤮🤮 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Flame-colored Tanager in Wisconsin! https://ebird.org/checklist/S135477989 From: https://www.freelists.org/archive/wisbirdn/04-2023?rev=1 From: Jeremy Meyer <jmeyer4044@xxxxxxxxx> To: bwhawk55@xxxxxxxxx Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2023 06:15:44 -0500 There are at least 10 of us currently looking, with NO luck. It was seen along the bluff behind the pond. Good luck!

If accepted, Wisconsin would be the only other state outside of Texas and Arizona to have a record of this species, at least what I'm seeing in eBird. Not even California has any records of this tanager. I'm waiting to see if anyone can relocate this bird this morning before I make the drive down for it.

Not sure how long of a drive this is for you. https://ebird.org/checklist/S135650016 It's about four hours. Interestingly, not only have I birded that location before, but have met the guy who found it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The Garganey and the Slate-throated Redstart are about 60 driving miles from each other. How tempting ... though I'd have to fly from DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An amazing record if the location is correct! The time, as you indicate, seems rather off (the 5:12 a.m. time is about 50 minutes before local sunrise.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 🤯 So how/why was it credited to Culver City California? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a historical (or maybe recent) Life List update that went wrong. I've seen plenty of reports like that. Somebody once reported all these northeastern seabirds from the middle of Vermont, with comments on all the birds listing their locations, in Maine.

Haven’t been on the forum for a long time, sorry, been busy with work and was spending less time birding in winter and then been busy with birding in spring migration. The Red-throated Pipit was a life bird for me and the White Wagtail was the second I’ve ever seen, but I didn’t get them on the same checklist sadly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
