dragon49 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) I usually share my best photo first, and checklists after any audio or lifers, but I'm still sorting through my pics, and am waiting for a checklist to get shared to me. I'll get those out in a day or so, but for now: I got three lifers today: 1 - Yellow-throated Vireo: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609180577 2 - Veery: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609179817 For a better ID shot, look at my friend's photo: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609178207 3 - Swainson's Thrush: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609177674 Edited September 23 by dragon49 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I have a massive backlog since I've been busy with accelerated high school, but last week I participated in my first birding competition! It was the first time the Barrens Birding Blitz was held, with teams birding across the local Albany Pine Bush Preserve. Altogether 101 species were recorded during the competition. Species had to be confirmed by at least two members of the group and teams were required to stay together- pretty standard competition rules I think. My team came in first place with 60 species, and our names will be engraved on the Barrens Blitz trophy cup! We also saw the highest number of warbler species. I got this trophy to take home: I had good looks (although not great photos) of two lifers that I got there- #309 Merlin and #310 Wilson's Warbler! I'll upload the rest of the pictures tomorrow hopefully 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 1st county record (county lifer), and 7th record for the state (I think) - Limpkin. 200 miles and 4 trips to finally get this bird. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) Acadian Flycatcher: Normally, I'd be a little frustrated only getting audio for a diurnal bird lifer, but I'm certain to see an ACFL soon, so not a big deal. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609591392 Edited October 5 by dragon49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) I got four lifers today! In order of the finds: 1 - Orchard Oriole: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609675217 2 - Sharp-shinned Hawk: One of my rare non-photo and non-audio lifers. No problem with this one though, as I got a good look at the small, migrating hawk flying over, and the field guide confirmed the ID. Thick-billed Vireo! Finally! https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609675901 Scarlet Tanager: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609675938 Edited October 7 by dragon49 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJay Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 In the last week and a half or so I've gotten three lifers.

Avery Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Agonizing to wait, but had to stay until I finished the midterms I had yesterday. As soon as my last one let out I booked it down to get my lifer Hudsonian Godwit, a bird that has avoided my in VT! I didn’t realize how small they are! https://ebird.org/checklist/S151980149 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 A 3rd State Record TOWNSEND'S WARBLER was found yesterday morning, not reported out until later in the day, then refound by those who could make it before sunset. I joined the mass of birders this morning to look for it. Got fantastic views! https://ebird.org/checklist/S152071126 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
