I was constantly looking at my pager yesterday at both of those last two but I promised to be at a meet yesterday so I was hoping the Sharp-tailed would still be there and if so i was going to ring you but I see you would have gripped me off anyway.:-O

While checking out a gathering of shorebirds (waders) on a mosit soil unit up at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge today, I added another bird to my 2007 Missouri State List.

241. Buff-breasted Sandpiper

*Other shorebirds "in the mix" seen today: Killdeer, Solitary Sandpiper, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Semipalmated, Least, Baird's, Pectoral and Stilt Sandpipers.
 
Three days not doing much birding while at the Birdfair...

240 Whinchat

Same bird was 167 for my county year list and 600 for my world year list.

This morning while birding Bluff Woods Conservation Area I added a bird to my Missouri Year List.

243. Olive-sided Flycatcher

A little later at Lake Contrary while viewing the various shorebirds (waders) which were present, I spotted a different looking gull. After studing it for a couple of hours I came to the conclusion that it was a juvenile California Gull. I called a couple of other birders to come an see what they thought. The consensus was that it was a California Gull.

244. California Gull

Here are a couple of photos I took of the bird.

EDIT: I left the post as is but the bird # 244 above is believed by most to be a juvenile Ring-billed Gull. So, I need to delete this from my Missouri Life List and my Missouri Year 2007 List.

Perhaps a sign of how little UK birding I have done this year, a trip to Norfolk added 5 year birds.

1001 Little Tern
1002 Whinchat
1003 Greenish Warbler
1004 Ruff
1005 Common Eider
 
In the middle of the summer doldrums--it's been two weeks since I've seen a new bird for the year. Maybe things are starting to change as there are a lot of shorebirds coming into the area now, including my most recent addition to my Year List (number 645) and Indiana state life list (number 278).

645. Piping Plover

In addition to the plover, I added Osprey to my Indiana state year list, which is now up to 211.

I haven't posted here for a while, between a move, an overseas trip, and converting my bird sightings from my own access database to Birder's Diary, I wasn't sure where I stood. Just finished inputting the last of my sightings and now have my totals. Last three year birds were Cave Swallow, Neotropic Cormorant, and White-tailed Kite in Brazoria, Texas last weekend. New totals for 2007 year are:
ABA # 262
