Yeah, not so much in the winter here. I've seen two so far, one of which was in my neighborhood. And my family saw one in the yard when I wasn't home ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a random checklist I found within a few seconds from Georgia. https://ebird.org/checklist/S99077019 Yep, I find Brewer's every winter here in Georgia. And hey, that checklist is from where I also got my Say's for the year a few weeks back! I see that birder's name a lot, but don't know them. Liam might. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I’ve been searching at literally every location they’re being seen, and I’ve never found one until today. There was three, however! Where have you seen them down here in orange? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about most places is CA, but down here they're rare, but somewhat annual. Up where we saw them they are common in the mountains, but down below they aren't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them pretty regularly in most counties across the state. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirVive Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 An attempt to make it cross country to a new swamp/lake that is a prime waterfowl spot with a toddler and 3 year old over the rough ground of an un-mowed field and through the thistles and blackberries was already beginning to look questionable when we ran smack into a large ditch full of water. Had to settle for dinner on the bank of a tiny little pond which all turned out for the best as there was a pair of scolding lifer Marsh Wrens right at our feet while we ate. Beautiful sunset to finish it off. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
