Connor Cochrane 3,343 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 After checking out the continuing rarities up in humbolt, I checked out a few places, and eventually I drove past a field tons of killdeer, and mixed in there was a Pacific Golden-Plover at one of them, which is a pretty good bird for this time of year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IKLland 1,261 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 On Sunday, I had lifer Glaucous gull, flagged as rare, greater scaups, and reddish egret. In costal Orange County, Ca Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Birding Boy 2,271 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Northern Wheatear in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Obviously a lifer, and worth the drive! Seemed to be doing well despite the cold, and it appeared to be eating mealworms someone had put out for it. Additional rare birds seen were Harlequin Duck, Black Vulture, and Brant, all of which were lifers for me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Black Vulture would be a lifer for me, too. Heck, I saw a Turkey Vulture a few days ago and it made it on the rare bird alert because we lose them in the winter.
