How is your 2011 List Going? (1 Viewer)

Just got back from a ten-day birding trip to northern Colombia, focusing on the endemic-rich Santa Marta Mountains and the arid Guajira Peninsula. I saw 19 of the possible 21 Santa Marta endemics (the Santa Marta Wren is in an area that is difficult, if not impossible, to reach, and the Santa Marta Sabrewing is very rare). In addition, I saw two additional birds endemic to Colombia but not to the Santa Marta Mountains. This trip brings my Year List up to 410. Lifers are in bold.

Went out this morning and picked up two more early migrants, so my Year List stands at 412.

411. American White Pelican
412. Double-crested Cormorant

Dave
 
I got the flu bug and am unable to get out birding at the moment, so my list is hold now! Hoping to get to feeling better soon!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Sucky time to be sick :(



72. Willow Warbler (Kuwait)

73. Semicollared Flycatcher (Kuwait)

74. Indian Silverbill (Dubai)
 
Probably the only way I am going to see a new Missouri year bird (in the short term) is for one to show up in our yard, as that is the only birding I am able to accomplish at the moment. Hopefully, I will be recuperated sufficiently to get out and about and do some "real" birding!

Get well soon Larry. It's spring migration!

1 April: Vianen (Middelwaard)

88. Marsh Harrier

Early shorebirds are starting to show up. I got two year ticks today, so I'm up to 415 for the year.

414. Rusty Blackbird
415. Pectoral Sandpiper

I also saw Lesser Yellowlegs, which was new for my ABA Area and Indiana year lists. (I had seen the species recently in Colombia).

Dave
 
One new year tick today, which is a bird that's not easily found around here, and one I could certainly miss for the year.

416. American Pipit

In addition to the pipit, I added Caspian Tern and Greater Yellowlegs to my ABA Area and Indiana year lists.

Dave
 
I got out yesterday with a birding friend and we recorded 68 species, but no new Missouri year birds for me. It appears that our winter type weather may give way to spring, so I should be adding quite a few birds presently!

Thanks all for the well wishes I received while being "home bound" recently!

Wow, Dave! Sounds like an amazing trip! Do you have any records of other wildlife you saw there? Mammals/herps/crazy insects?
