Trevor L. Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not as cool as some of the other stuff people are posting, but today I went and saw two Snowy Owls. I was only expecting one. I also saw two Tundra Swans, which are flagged in that county and apparently hard to find. Two of my birding friends who live in that county still need Tundras for county, so I feel a little bad.

DLecy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not a mega, but I finally got a halfway decent picture of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker that is now wintering locally for the third year in a row. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/403868951 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a hard bird to photo. I've always seen it near the top of the tree, and my looks earlier today were much worse than yours. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Found a Sandhill Crane today which is a real difficult bird to get near the coast. It was my 337th bird for Marin county. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that thing loves to work its way down a branch, only to stay out of sight on the backside of the limb, before quickly making its way back up high again. Frustrating, to say the least.

DLecy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Long desired county bird, and always a good bird for Northern CA. Maybe a 4th county record (per eBird)? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/407146191 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/407146301 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/407146341 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there earlier today and the gulls were far out. Exposed mudflats made for quite the spectacle later on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, none have really showed up down here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
