January 1st joint Birdforum list (2022 edition) (1 Viewer)

[Oldnintheway]

Managed to get out in the snow and icy roads here in Washington State. Trying not to post duplicates. I can add to the U.S. list:
California Scrub Jay
Horned Grebe
Red-necked Grebe
Dunlin
Eurasian Wigeon
Golden-crowned Kinglet
Hooded Merganser
Double-crested Cormorant
Surf Scoter

 

[Swindon Addick]

Rest-of-Europe (i.e. Europe excluding the UK) is on 141 unless I've double-counted anything* (which i often do due to the perils of IOC vs UK bird names). Fuerteventura Stonechat is another that we haven't had before.

* Edit: Except Cormorant/Great Cormorant which I've just corrected.**
** And Great Egret / Great White Egret which gets me every single year, without fail. Grrrr...

[Paul Chapman]

Just checking - Great Black-headed Gull is a typo for Great Black-backed? On the basis that you said there was little spectacular. That'll be one less for the global list, unless someone in Europe has it.

A spreadsheet error of spreadsheet errors. If it is a premonition, it is going to be one hell of a year. 🤣

[pbjosh]

Can add Yellow-chevroned Parakeet and Crested Caracara. I'm not birding at all today, just stuff heard / noted around the neighborhood. Did manage to tick a lovely new year's day lunch w/ my in-laws

[Oldnintheway]

I don't think I've seen these two on the U.S. list?
Barrow's Goldeneye
Kildeer

 

[Stonefaction]

I think I can add 4 to the UK list - Eider, Ringed Plover, Shag and Treecreeper.

 

[chowchilla]

323) White-headed Pigeon (missed from earlier)
324) Barrow's Goldeneye
325) Killdeer
326) Eurasian Shag
327) Common Treecreeper

 

[Swindon Addick]

IOC split Hornbill Friarbird from Helmeted, so (hesitantly due to total lack of knowledge of Australian birds other than that they have excellent names) I think we get another species for the global list there.

 

[chowchilla]

328) Common Eider (Had to double-check this one as I had the notion it had already been recorded).

 

[chowchilla]

They're the same bird. Phil only lives up the road from me. Technically, it's Hornbill Friarbird, but I have the habit of using the old name. The birds in the NT retain the name Helmeted Friarbird.

 

[Swindon Addick]

Team Europe now 189 (UK 138, rest of Europe 141).

We did already have Common Eider - it was number 183, reported from continental Europe so new for the UK list but not the global one.

 

[Lisa W]

Dang, weather! Only seen one - Raven and it is listed.

 

[Oldnintheway]

I can't imagine that we don't have bushtits on the U/S/ list but just in case, a flock just visited my suet feeder.

No worries. I'm getting tired so missed it. I'll call it a day with...

328) Bushtit.

Now, someone else can keep the score, if so inclined.

 

[Larry Sweetland]

A couple more of the bird names in post 16 might cause confusion in a world context (depending on who else might post!): Pied Imperial Pigeon = Torresian Imperial Pigeon, and Mangrove Kingfisher = Torresian Kingfisher

Black Francolin, Sardinian Warbler and Long-legged Buzzard.

These three species are seen (or mainly heard in regard to the Francolin) almost daily from the garden here.
