The Santa Barbara bird(or same bird??) showed up the day I left for Colorado so I couldn’t chase it. I would’ve been able to see it!😡😡 Congrats!!! It's a wild record. 6th for CA, I think. I'm still pinching myself. I believe some initial analysis of the primaries on both birds indicate that they are different birds.

Got to alert from the state listserve as I was leaving my house this morning, and booked it down after picking up a friend.

dragon49 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I get to share this Alder Flycatcher audio a third time today, as it made the County rare Bird alert. Not self-found. As usual, I followed the local Gurus to the right spot: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608406805 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 On Saturday, I went back to the local Alder Flycatcher spot to get better photos than the ones I got last week. Unfortunately, the bird didn't leave the back of the wooded area, but I was able to get some recognizable, albeit bad audio: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608658181 Later in the day, roughly .45 miles down the road, I may have seen the same bird, but my photos didn't have enough details, so I classified it differently (Alder/Willow Flycatcher (Traill's Flycatcher)) which also flagged as rare: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608658190 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) I was saving the comment about making the County Rare Bird Alert and the ABA Rarities Alert for this post, but I put it in the lifers thread by mistake. In any event, I get to show off another pic of an American Flamingo. I LOVE my 3000mm zoom Nikon Coolpix P1000! This is one of the original, uncropped photos: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608806028 Edited September 14 by dragon49 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch58 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Another Flamingo, this one in Pennsylvania. Decided to take the 4 hour ride today to see it. Originally there were 2 but one was attacked by a Snapping Turtle. It was captured & taken for rehab, apparently not to badly hurt. I was talking to some of the local birders & they said there are plans to capture this bird also & reunite it with the other one & then relocating them both south somewhere, possibly Florida. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice photo! I saw both birds, pre-turtle-attack, five days ago. It took 2 hours to get there, but 3 hours back in part because of heavy rains in a hilly section of my route that prompted me to pull onto the shoulder for at least half an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
