Phalarope, that was a great group of people we had over the week-end. Everyone was (is) so crazy!
I wish I could have seen that Snowcap. I'll bet that was a real stunner!

Hello, all.
This is my first post here so it might as well be what my most recent life bird was...
A week ago Sunday, at El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach CA, I got my first Ring-necked Ducks. Probably have seen them many times before but at this time of year, here, both males and females are a bit drab and brown and so, I never paid them much attention. Sunday before last, I just had some time and sat at the back lake for a while. There were 4 of them and I barely noticed them as they were in a large group of American Widgeons and a few Northern Shovlers.
Anyhooo, that's the most recent.
Good Group you have here.
Cheers, Mare :hi:

Arctic Redpoll - Tukums, Latvia - 4th November - a birthday present bird to match the Pallas's Warbler we found in Sussex last year.
I've still got one 'pending' bird - a warbler we photographed in Swaziland last month. If someone IDs this for me, can I count it as my most recent lifer (assuming that it is one)?
Anyone interested can find it on www.avengerpenguins.com - click on the 'photos' link and find the mystery bird gallery.
Now did someone say something about "Northern" Long-tailed Tit?
Cheers
Chris

Hooray - three today (again) - champagne time, and missed out on the chance of a Richards Pipit due to lunch hour restrictions.
Long Tailed Duck - Common Scoter - Slavonian Grebe
In years to come I`m sure i`ll look back and laugh at the excitement of my new additions to the list, but i fear the more days pass by the less appreciative i`ll be of the commoners!

My life bird was last winter when I saw my first Pileated woodpecker. I had been hoping to see this bird for weeks but the elusive woodpecker allways stayed a few trees ahead of me. Then when I was birding in the swamp behind my house I heard cackling like laughter from in the swamp and there it was, my first pileated.
