It likes to show me posts in the group from the past. That was November. 🙄 It also bumped one from 2013 and put it as new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joy in some of those checklists just comes through. What a great bird and experience for those lucky enough to see the Eagle. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghann Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Northern Lapwing in Queen Anne's County, MARYLAND (there is much discussion about this not being the same bird seen further north. Looks like there might be multiple birds on the east coast, which is great news for us eastern seaboard peeps. Last time there was an invasion we even got one here in Georgia. Fingers crossed!)

Peromyscus Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Mottled Duck in Montgomery County, MARYLAND (not my checklist) https://ebird.org/checklist/S99518221. First apparent record for the state (1 earlier record not accepted, another not reviewable). The location is less than half an hour from my house, so it didn't very long for me to drive to the site. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
