Kevin 2,707 Posted December 12, 2019 Yesterday I saw two Crested Caracaras attacking a Black Vulture, and calling VERY loudly! In a few minutes they flew over landed in two different trees, then flew on. Not a lifer, but a yard bird! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birding Boy 783 Posted December 31, 2019 Maybe a black swan, I think they're sometimes seen out of captivity in the southern U.S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexHenry 974 Posted January 9 (edited) A Garganey near Sacramento... Chilean Flamingo at Don Edwards in Fremont CA... not sure if this bird is technically countable? Edited January 9 by AlexHenry 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HamRHead 1,284 Posted January 13 Sandhill Crane from January 6. And a shout out to @Sean C--I thought I might have to pay you a visit to get a Sandhill. That was until this pair lowered their landing gears and dropped flaps a few miles from the house. I still might have to hit up Florida some day for a few other indigenous goodies. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
