Two difficult fall migrants this morning. I have a very small window in which to see the warbler, and if I didn’t get it this weekend I likely would have missed it for the year.

A rare fall migrant this morning.

570. Orange-crowned Warbler

They only migrate through this area in the fall and they’re rare enough that I don’t see one every year, sometimes not for several years.

Two more today off Cabo Peñas:

230. Balearic Shearwater
231. Cory's Shearwater

 

[Nightjar61]

Technically not a year bird because I saw one in Argentina last month, but today I twitched the second record of Limpkin for West Virginia. So it is new for my state year and life lists.

The bird was discovered about a week ago, but for various reasons I couldn’t go look for it until today. Very distant views, but good enough.
