You have a well birded county, and lots of people are able to bird more of the county and see rare birds. In Laurens County there is one other birder besides me, and he birds one spot, so if there is a rarity in Lauren's, it is usually self found, and my lists suffer because of that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate thing about my county is that pretty much everybody is a “twitcher” or goes from one rarity to the next. There’s not many new rarities found in my county other than rarities found at locations that already have one. I wish more people in my county birded less often checked spots so there would be more rarities… I often find myself “twitching”, however, but that’s because I’m young, have school, sports, etc, and don’t much time to bird, hence I often go after the better birds(another reason why I don’t find my own rarities often). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not sure where exactly people have been seeing the birds from as the parking lot near by doesn't seem to be open for regular vehicles.

floraphile Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 White-tailed Hawk 20 Jan 2023 Baldwin co. AL. Bay/gulf-side historic fort & park This fellow has been hanging around at least a week. A first sighting for the state. Pictures are not great, as they were taken from the car at too far a distance. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Is that because you used "Rock Pigeon" in eBird? If so, please use Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon). On behalf of reviewers everywhere, thank you! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
