Connor Cochrane Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) This could go in either the rare birds category or this one. Fork Tailed Storm Petrel, California bird 399, seen from our boat 30 miles from shore. 8 miles SSW of the Farallons We found a rare Leach's Storm-petrel as well, we couldn't get any photos of it. I've seen it before, but it was California Bird 400!

Aaron Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I saw not one but 3 Northern Waterthrush while Kayaking a small lake (glorified pond) the other day. And this is all I have to show for it! ? Also added to my lifers recently have been Pygmy Nuthatch, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Black Swift, and a Marsh Wren. Yet they never even gave me an opportunity to mess up a shot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I am sure I will spell something wrong here, but I'm on a phone so cut me some slack. I got a Louisiana Waterthrush a while back, while kayaking. We went up a inlit on a River, we kayaked up it for about 15 minutes till we got to a sandbar that was too shallow get over, so we dragged over it. In a few more minutes we came to the end of the water. I could see you there was another stretch water after about fifteen feet through heavy brush so my mom and dad stayed there and I went over it with my kayak, I went through it wasn't too hard until I got to about a 5-foot section of mud that was three to four foot deep. When I finally got through the month and got back in my kayak talked about 15 feet there was a Louisiana Waterthrush there for me it was all worth it, although I came out of it filthy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 They really are secretive. I’ve had a few glimpses of waterthrushes here and there on the east coast, and a decent look at one in Mexico. When I was in Montana, there was one singing just 5 feet away from me, and I was hoping for a nice look to study the species. I looked all around, tried pishing it in (which rarely ever works with singing bird for me). Alas I could never find it. Shows how secretive those guys are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
