DLecy Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Immature male Scarlet Tanager. Perhaps only the 10th county record, and the first one in over 12 years. Found by legendary birder and artist, Keith Hansen. Suuuper døpe. https://ebird.org/checklist/S97538694 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Didn't see any winter finches in the Upper Peninsula, but I did find a continuing Blue-gray Gnatcatcher reconsidering its life choices. Its incredibly rare to see a wintering bird in Michigan, especially up there. Birds are weird. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 From last weekend, but I forgot to post this. Golden crowned sparrow( also a lifer), in Joshua tree NP. It’s pretty rare for the park, and this is my first self found rarity! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 My most recent rare birds-only the last one was found first by me. Gray-tailed Tattler Florida Keys, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Alachua County, FL and Grasshopper Sparrow, Duval County, FL not super rare on the sparrow seems like we get a few every winter. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor L. Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm three for three on seeing Snowy Owls in the last year. This one is earlier than I expected. Wondering if this isn't an irruption year. Other photos and checklist can be seen here. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Some good stuff at the property this week. •Extremely late Eastern Phoebe, the last bird I expected to see in chilling NW winds and 20 degree temperatures. Late record for the county by almost two months, and probably some sort of northernmost/late record for the state. •4th county record Saw-whet •Evening Grosbeaks! Had a high count of five flyovers yesterday. This area seems to draw them in irruption years. • Continuing decent numbers of migrant White-winged Crossbills. •Not flagged, but pretty unexpected, an American Robin was the latest Nov-Dec record for the county. There are a couple records from Jan-feb, would those be early or late records? I dunno. While I’m sure there’s a ton of records not on eBird that would challenge these numbers, it’s still kinda fun to fill in these red dots on the filter. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Project Snowstorm's website; "In coming updates we’ll share details on all of that, plus our plans for fresh research this winter, during what may be shaping up to be a significant irruption into the Northeast and upper Great Lakes, with reports as least as far south as Long Island, NY." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L. Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Last couple days have been pretty good for rare birds. Yesterday a friend and I found a Spotted Towhee, late Indigo Bunting, and Lesser Black-backed Gull (not rare, but flagged). Today someone found a Red-throated Loon and Long-tailed Duck, so I chased and found both. If you want to see the checklists, you can find yesterday's here and today's here. Crazy thing it that all were within a few miles of each other. Photos are bad because all were pretty far away from me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Couldn't find one in my own county, so took the 45 minute drive from where I was to go see this guy. We continue to be lucky for being so far inland that this Lesser Black-backed Gull keeps paying us a visit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
