stitch58 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I didn't get to see them but apparently Cape May had a totally insane day today. First state record of Kirtland's Warbler was found & a couple hours later a second one was found a couple miles away!! Hopefully they'll stick around but I won't be able to get down there for a couple days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the warbler was being referred to in the fact that there were a ton of Cape May Warblers at the location he was at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpa Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Sharp-tailed Sandpiper!! Finally getting around to uploading my pics from last week. First lifer since June. Not much time for birding being a new dad but was able to sneak out for this one. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say if something is flagged as rare in eBird for the location. Also, if you find a more local rarity that’s no flagged. For example, Bewicks Wren is very unusual on the coast here in Orange County, and they’re common inland. But, they’re not flagged as rare on the coast, even though they should be. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bird is one I don't expect to see at anytime of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
