dragon49 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I got three lifers today! Alder Flycatcher - https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608406805 Yellow Warbler - https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608406857 And finally, my nemesis Worm-eating warbler. I had to loop the boardwalk three times to finally get this one: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608406828 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I thought it was a female/immature Yellow Warbler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I thought it was a female/immature Yellow Warbler. I believe it's so dull because it might be an immature female. Sometimes the Prairie Warblers here in California are like this. We mostly only get immatures. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Bobolink. This one was a sure thing. I missed these birds last season, but I wasn't chasing lifers then. They are all over the agriculture fields this month. I ran to a spot where somebody reported 1,000 yesterday: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608487886 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 On 8/13/2023 at 6:58 PM, Peromyscus said: I've been going over my life list spreadsheet very very carefully, and I noticed that I hadn't added Chihuahuan Meadowlark or Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay, so I've gained two armchair lifers. Years ago after I had already seen both forms/species, I made a note that they could be split in the future and noted where and when I had seen them. This afternoon I went over my Western Palearctic (Europe and Israel) life list very carefully, and noticed that 7 species had been split since I compiled that list decades ago, so I picked up even more armchair lifers. 2 species were intra-European splits according to the Dutch Birding document I was consulting, both of them wagtails. The other 5 were e.g. Wilson's Snipe being split off from the Eurasian Common Snipe. So that's 8 lifers in the past month -- these 5, the 2 from my August activity, and the actual lifer American Flamingos a few days ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
