I record sixteen (16) species of shorebirds today, but none were "new" for my 2012 Missouri List. Especially nice, I thought, were the Ruddy Turnstone in bright alternate plumage (Lake Contrary), Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Horseshoe Lake) and American Avocet (one at Lake Contrary and another at Horseshoe Lake).

Every time I bird outside of Texas, I am surprised by how hard I have to work to find birds. This is particularly true when I go to mountainous areas. So I saw comparatively few birds in the mountains of southwest Utah, given how many hours I birded.
No condors, no eagles, only two hawks (Red-tailed) but a great sighting of a juvenile Prairie Falcon screaming constantly as it followed its parents. Woodpeckers were particularly scarce, perhaps because so many trees had been killed by some sort of beetle. I saw just two Hairy WPs and 4 Northern Flickers. 298 Mountain Bluebird 299 Townsend’s Solitaire 300 Bushtit 301 Pine Siskin 302 Phainopepla (Photo below) 303 Gambel’s Quail 304 Western Wood-Pewee 305 Prairie Falcon (Lifer) 306 Wild Turkey 307 White-throated Swift (Lifer) 308 Cordilleran Flycatcher 309 Mountain Chickadee 310 Black-capped Chickadee 311 Cassin’s Finch 312 Canyon Wren 313 Green-tailed Towhee 314 Hairy Woodpecker Jeff Last edited by JeffMoh : Monday 13th August 2012 at 15:37. |

Was the new addition a "CB" or "something else"?  Let's see, what would a "CB" be? Crested Cuckoo-Dove, Cape Bulbul, Ceylon Bush-Warbler, Chaplin's Barbet, Chopi Blackbird, Cinereous Becard, Ciri Bunting, Collared Bush-Robin, Common Buzzard, Crested Bobwhite, Cuban Bullfinch, etc. ?

190. Hobby
Should have had that before now, but as I've said before I'm not really carrying on with my UK list this year. Anyway, always good to have a tick of some description on one's birthday!

A nice morning last saturday at my local patch, Rheindelta of the Lake of Constance, brought my year list to 520. Apparently migration is setting in, there where quite a few waders around. New birds for the year where: Red Knot, Marsh Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstones, Spotted Crake and Sedge Warblers.
