Peromyscus Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I made a half-a** attempt today to look for the Iceland and Glaucous Gulls (1 of each) that have been reported quite recently in Washington DC. I didn't get out of my car (air temp 21F, windchill 0-10F), and there weren't too many gulls visible. At least I got out of the neighborhood for the first time in 2 or 3 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I pulled one of those yesterday. I hit a nearby hotspot for about 20 minutes, about a third of that in the car. Covered only .15 miles. 3pm, 26F, 10F windchill. Five species, six birds. But I had to go out for gas and a few last-minute groceries anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I'm currently at 593 for the year, missing a few easy species that I should've gotten. Leaving for Panama tonight so the year list is going to increase a lot in the last few days. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I got a handful this summer when someone else listed them in a field near my home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) I gained the Tundra Swan yesterday, but I also lost one. I reviewed my rarities for the year and noticed I still had the Stilt Sandpiper marked. I had corrected my photo but forgot to remove the entry from the checklist, and no other birders positively identified it on the day I was there. Oh well, that means I can get excited about it the next time I (actually) see it. That leaves me at 368 for the year. A few of those are escapees and thus not countable, however. Off-hand, I can think of these: Swan Goose Muscovy Duck Indian Peafowl African Collared-Dove I'm going to keep the provisional ones like the Pin-tailed Whydah.

Avery Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Trying to squeeze in a few more additions when I'm home for the holidays. I added Pine Grosbeak and Bohemian Waxwing to my year list this past week, now at 313! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'm still stuck at 207. I doubt I'll see any new year birds, but maybe I'll have some luck tomorrow? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Red-necked Grebe on the other side of my county that had been reported earlier this month but had not been reported for 2 weeks. Year bird #208. That's probably going to be it for me this year. This has been my best year birding close to home in quite a few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
