There however are a few locations where you can almost be guaranteed to get them at, especially along the coast. But, there is becoming so many reports, that I think soon(at least along the coast), Ebird was stop flagging them. Still much less common than BCNH or GRHE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kevin was questioning the ID, not the status of the bird. It honestly looks like a BCNH to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought the bill shape looked off, but now that I'm on a bigger screen I can see I'm wrong. The long legs, long neck, posture and yes, bill shape look good for Yellow-crowned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't have a problem with the id(in fact I have barely even looked a the photo), it just seems like @IKLland sees them so often they don't seem rare! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got super excited and told him how rare it was for our area. It was really cool. And then we saw four more ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just doing a big year! I'm only at 137 for this year, but of course with you being here all the time it would be much larger than that, closer to my all time list of 191. I do pay a price for my yard, I endure 5 months of brutal weather, 100-115 every day, it does not rain, there is no clouds, the wind does not even blow. You get tired of that real fast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Georgia it's about 95 and humid, but at least we have a breeze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
