Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 FOY Yellow-rumped Warbler. They may be one of the most common warblers but for some reason I just don't see them that often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Pretty sure a flock of grackles I saw today flying in a compact group quite fast and high were migrants. Haven't seen any migrating Blue Jays for a while, just resident birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 The rarities are pouring in! I’ll be chasing all of them tomorrow! Some very recent rarities include pectoral sandpipers, Baird’s sandpipers, Baltimore oriole, plumbeous vireo, two probable Philadelphia vireos, Lucy’s warbler, lots of Tennessee Warblers, magnolia warbler, Blackpoll warbler, Blackburnian warbler, a probable black throated green warbler, and a clay colored sparrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we should both have good days tomorrow! I'll be birding around San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties tomorrow! Lots of rarities showing up along the whole coast of California right now!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I can actually for once see more species in a day than you? You always get a lot of great birds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 They've been reported in the county for a couple of weeks, but yesterday I had my first White-throated Sparrow and Ruby-crowned Kinglet for this autumn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) And today were first-of-season Butter-butt, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and Dark-eyed Junco. I think that completes the list of birds that winter over in my yard. Edited October 29, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Yesterday (Friday) I set out in search of a Surf Scoter and 3 Greater White-fronted Geese reported on the other side of my county on Thursday, and a Red-necked Grebe at a different location 13 miles away also reported on Thursday. The scoter was present but the geese were not, the reverse of my expectation. It took long enough for me to locate the scoter; I stopped at three places along a four-plus mile route and the scoter was at the last place. I then decided to skip looking for the grebe and go home for lunch; as it turned out the grebe was not reported yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said there’s not really great habitat near you, but definitely be keeping an ear out for EVGR! It’s looking to be a fantastic irruption year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The Gulls are showing back up to Duck Lake, and sounds like next door the ducks are showing up on Gull Lake. I got FOY Lesser Black-backed Gull, along with the 3 Red-necked Grebes. There were around 1300 Ring-billed and a smattering of Herring along wiht a single Bonaparte's. I'm sure there might have been some other good stuff mixed in, but pretty bad mirage. This stinking southern winds lately are really holding things up. We had nearly 7 Million birds pass through on 10/26 when the last batch of southern winds stopped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Goldfinches are migrating in huge numbers throughout Michigan's upper peninsula. Broke the state's previous high count by several hundred in a little over an hour. eBird Checklist - 29 Oct 2022 - Hunter's Point Trail - 16 species (+2 other taxa) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is the Grosbeaks are avoiding all the construction on I-69. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
