meghann Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Paging @HamRHead to come tell about his 90 year record. . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 This year I have been hitting my local county for a few birds that shouldn't be too hard to get. Yesterday I thought I had found my county Yellow Warbler. I shot a few frames, saw a dark undertail, and suddenly realized it was not a Yellow Warbler. I got a few more shots, none of them great, but still diagnostic for a rare Wilson's Warbler! It is a lifer and a great county bird. There is one other record--historical from 1931. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they seen during migration on the great lakes? There are few and far between records for my county, last one was seen in 2019.

Yeah thousands of scoters migrate through the Great Lakes, but the weird thing is they’re almost all female/immature birds. I feel like a read an article explaining some theories behind this, but I can remember exactly where it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernKeys Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Finally got to see the Ruddy Turnstone that's been hanging around recently today. It was hanging around near a private marina, but one kind boat owner let us onto the docks and we got a solid look. Great views of a great bird for Tennessee. :) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost decided to post this, but I was afraid it might not be taken in the spirit it was meant in. Probably a good thing I decided not to. Quote So so sad being made to look at those Black Scoters! I know what you can do though, so you don't have to look at those female/immature Scoters. You can not go birding where they are, and then you won't have to suffer so." 😝😛🤪🤣😂😭😀😄😃😁😆😅🤣😋🙂🤨😊😏🙃 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpa Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Unexpected Black Swifts this morning. If only I had my camera, they would've been so easy to photograph compared to Vaux's. Too bad I left it in the car because of rain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
