Oh ok, yeah in Michigan they’re pretty rare in winter, usually don’t see any until April or May. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewer's in the east (especially in the southeast) is nowhere near as rare as Rusty Blackbirds are the west. This is just a random checklist I found within a few seconds from Georgia. https://ebird.org/checklist/S99077019 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Black-headed Gull-rare in Florida. This one has been being seen in the exact same location for a couple of weeks. I believe it has an injured leg which might be why it doesn't go far from this perch. Other than the 2 1/2 hour drive easiest life bird ever I think. We pulled up spotted it before ever exiting the car. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since most of my birding career has been without a Drivers license and with an urge to make every stop count...dipping is painful. That was me last year with Grasshopper sparrow. Went 3 times before I found it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
