It must be exhausting being a birder in Alaska, having to know two continents worth of birds in enough detail to pick them out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. That said, I would not call that a bluebird either in Alaska or in Maryland. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) 2 flamingos in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Not my checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S149214153. Less than 100 miles from my house, so, maybe I'll go look for them tomorrow? eta: This would be the 6th state first this year, after Mottled Duck, Ferruginous Hawk, Limpkin, Broad-billed Hummingbird, and Audubon’s Shearwater Edited September 7 by Peromyscus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is along an open section of shore with a vertical dirt bank behind it.” Edited September 7 by Peromyscus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 One of the Pennsylvania flamingos was apparently attacked by a snapping turtle, and sent to a rehabber this morning. The other bird is still at that pond. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 You'll never guess what flew over the flamingo pond west of Chambersburg (Franklin County), Pennsylvania this morning. A Brown Booby! An *adult* Brown Booby! (I learned about this on a local GroupMe ... it's on the ABA Rare public Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ABArare/. Photos there but not yet on eBird) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’re getting pushed in ahead of Hurricane Lee? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’re getting pushed in ahead of Hurricane Lee? Maybe? But, this morning there were 3 Brown Boobies in Baltimore, 2 or all 3 adults. 1 or 2 BRBO have been in Baltimore for some weeks, with the first adult photographed at the end of July. 1 subadult was seen in New York City in late June. I don't think hurricanes or tropical storms were responsible for the late July & late June birds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 23 hours ago, Peromyscus said: The flamingos flew south at some point before sundown. But then they flew north, according to this observer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150568493. Watched closely with several hundred new friends for over two hours. They flew off at 5:12. They did not appear to have been flushed by any human activity. They flew south for perhaps a mile, then turned out farther over the lake, and then turned back and flew north for a long time. I lost them out over the lake, but they should be looked for to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLecy Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Common Greenshank in Del Norte County, CA. This is very close to the Oregon border for anyone who lives up that way. The photos and videos stink, but this observer, and the other observer referenced in the checklist are very reliable. It's legit. https://ebird.org/checklist/S150606740 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
