Aidan B Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I'm still at 191 for the year, my college started right after I chased the Brambling, and I haven't managed to get in any significant birding in during the past three weeks, just an hour or two here and there. I do have a free day tomorrow though, so I'm going to be chasing the Oriental Turtle-Dove and some other rarities (Tufted Duck, Curlew Sandpiper, Laughing Gull, ect). I haven't been to the coast yet this year, so I should have no problem adding 20+ species to my year list. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like all the really big rarities are in central and northern Cali right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Up to 81, all in my county, with today's Canvasbacks, Merlin, and Peregrine Falcon. Peregrines are though to find in the county away from one particular location, so that was a nice surprise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to get out since I got the turtle dove two weeks ago. Still haven't been to the ocean despite living twenty minutes away so I'm missing quite a few easy species. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling, I was stuck there for several weeks as well after I chased the Brambling. I'm still missing a good group of the easy costal birds as well, the fog rolled in right when I got to the coast and that shut down any sea-watching plans I had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdNrd Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'm shockingly at 193 which is 6 less than last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 103, four less than were I was at last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I’ve only moved up to 139 and not to brag, but I did see both Canada goose and Northern flicker the other day. Been slowly adding a few species here and there from going through recordings and photos from Costa Rica, but I don’t think I’ll add anymore than 5 to the total, if that. I still have yet to actually go out anywhere interesting, but it’s reading week next week so I’m hoping to go to a few spots. ~160 species is probably the maximum I can get to until the end of March. Last years total was 245 species, so I’m almost exactly 100 away from that. Hoping it’ll be the first year I can crack 300. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually in the lower Sierras, just out of the foothills. Ebird is showing it as the first for the area by over a month. There was another one seen a few days ago here in Sac. It's been unseasonally warm recently so maybe that has something to do with it. Edited February 20, 2022 by Aidan B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I’m really hoping I can get my life list to 300! I’m at 266, but it’s getting much harder. Hopefully I can get when I head to NY to visit family this summer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Update: I’m now at 170, which is currently 30th in my county for the year. I want to remain in the top 40 by the end of the year for 2022.

Birding Boy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Finally hit 100 the other day with American Woodcock. Now at 104 with Gyrfalcon. Probably won’t get many new ones this week as the vehicle I use is temporarily out of commission. Time to grow that yard list ?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
