How's Your 2025 List Going? (3 Viewers)

Another successful day. I took the train down into La Mancha (Villacañas) as they have much better variety of wetland species than we have in Madrid. Got most of my targets and even some I wasn't expecting.

223. Greater Flamingo
224. Kentish Plover
225. Little Stint
226. Pin-tailed Sandgrouse (only the second time I've ever seen this - still waiting for a decent view though!)
227. Collared Pratincole
228. Gull-billed Tern
229. Glossy Ibis
230. Spectacled Warbler
 
Spring migration is still taking some time to pick up around me, but I did add
#141 Summer tanager
on patch, before heading to my previous resident county to dip on the county-first and one-hit-wonder Grace's warbler. This trip allowe me to add
#142 Snow goose (bittersweet county lifer as it's a long-staying injured bird)
#143 Black-necked stilt
#144 Long-billed dowitcher
#145 Lesser yellowlegs
#146 Baird's sandpiper
#147 Least sandpiper
#148 Pectoral sandpiper
#149 Cliff swallow
And this morning, while in the yard I had a flock of
#150 Franklin's gull
 
Able to get out for a couple hours yesterday evening and added a nice number of early migrants.

104. Warbling Vireo
105. Yellow Warbler
106. Louisiana Waterthrush
107. Prothonotary Warbler
108. Ruby-crowned Kinglet
109. Palm Warbler
110. Northern Parula
111. Yellow-throated Warbler
112. Wood Thrush
113. Pied-billed Grebe
 
Mostly picking up migrants passing through LA:
178. Downy Woodpecker
179. Yellow Warbler
180. Vaux’s Swift

And a family holiday weekend in Joshua Tree:
181. Black-chinned Hummingbird
182. White-winged Dove
183. Black-headed Grosbeak
184. Gambel’s Quail
185. Verdin
186. Dusky Flycatcher
187. Wilson’s Warbler
188. Lucy’s Warbler
189. Brewer’s Sparrow
 
A couple new year birds at a local soil conservation site last week, with
#151 Wilson's snipe
#152 Red-eyed vireo
Then a yard flyover of
#153 Mississippi kite
Family walk along the creek produced
#154 Yellow-billed cuckoo
And our flashiest parking lot bird
#155 Western kingbird
