I'll trade for a Pacific Golden-Plover in that case, but I need 2, because I'm pretty sure Kevin wants one as well? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 You can look all over the world, and the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher of Happiness is right in your own backyard. And I'll give anybody a Lewis's Woodpecker and a draft choice for a Swallow-tailed Kite or a Northern Pygmy-Owl. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I explained to a far more expert birder off the cusp on the American Flamingo chase last weekend that twitching was "basically an adult, real-life Pokemon game". 😀 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 (edited) This spot is known for vagrant flycatchers! In September 2019, I saw a Fork-tailed Flycatcher with a Western Kingbird at that exact spot. Edited October 27 by Liam 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used that analogy before when explaining one of the things that pulled me into birding over the past year and half. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
