I'm curious too as to what those lists include even if it's common species.Right. Our combined list is currently 143 (including astounding selection of woodies)
Velvet Scoter on Jan 4th was the 100th.
House Sparrow
Starling
are the most recorded - on account of their multi-continental distribution. I'm struggling to workout what has been seen where (since many people stated with 23 or 40 sp and I had to guess) How anyone can claim to keep competitive lister's lists correct defeats me!
We need a Columbian garden lister to move things along!
No Woodpeckers here in Aus. It's one group of birds I really miss seeing.:-CI can't contribute to the woodpeckers...
Great spotted Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Green Woodpecker
Three-toed Woodpecker
Black Woodpecker
Middle-spotted Woodpecker
White-backed Woodpecker
Northern Flicker
So far. I expect GSW and have had Wryneck, though Jos will beatme to that one I expect!
Cool! I look forward to it.:t:I'll put my whole list on when back home.
...can I trade you WFGoose for any of the ''peckers'' barring Grt.Spot.?
Would be tempted to trade in a spare Middle Spot, but in a couple of months White-fronts should be going over in flocks ...anything else on offer?
When I first became familiar with Aussie birds it was just called 'Bush Hen'. For some time now it's been called 'Pale-vented'; I double checked my Pizzey and Knight as I read your post and sure enough it's Pale-vented in there.Pale-vented Bush-hen?
Has there been a split?
