Clip Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Not my best but my favorite since there are multiple species. Saw these rarely in Colorado fairly abundant in Florida though not always easy pull out of the all the Royal Terns. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Good morning, Whatbirders! Autumn put its foot down this morning; it's 44F here in central SC. Great weather to stop at a couple of hotspots around Charlotte on my way to the NASCAR race. Let's do one of those shorebirds you shouldn't look for at the shore: American Woodcock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I had the pleasure of seeing this bird a couple of times in Loveland, Colorado. They are rare in Colorado but this one showed up at the same location a few winters in row. I have two good photos of this bird the one I chose and one that is a close up. I went with this one because it shows more of the whole bird. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesome55dove Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 @IKLland @Johnd May I join the club, please? I have never seen one either. I apparently have led a sheltered life or have made a wrong turn somewhere because I didn't have a Tern for last week. 🙂  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitch58 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Seen many but usually after I’ve accidentally flushed one & it flys off. Seen at night also doing display flights but to dark for pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
