Me and a buddy went to Baltimore, and I saw my year's first Snowy Egret, Osprey and Great Black-backed Gull by Chesapeke Bay. And then we went to this little man-made lake over by me. I saw year's first Least Sandpiper and 2 Semipalmated Plovers. Seeing those 5 birds brings my year list to 99.

Got these three yesterday afternoon exploring a new (to me at least) greenway path on the outskirts of town:
102 Black vulture
103 Yellow-billed cuckoo
104 Indigo bunting
This puts me 14 above my total for the entire year last year. Although I did have an illness which kept me from birding much last year, I still think I'm doing pretty well. If only I could get a chance to do some travelling, I could have a really great bird year.

Good numbers (6+) of Nightjars churring on Cannock Chase this evening, however no moon so seeing one was nigh on impossible.

Left work early to look for a bird that had been reported in a local county park. Heard, then saw my target within a few minutes (that doesn't happen very often!) and added a new bird to the Year List.

Considering I am not doing any twitching this year, unless something special turns up, I ain't doing too bad this year. My main two bogie birds seen earlier this year and my third biggest bogie bird landed about 45 miles awy from me in Bucks today. I didn't even look at the pager today until nearly 3pm and had a shock when I saw this bird had been reported since about mid-day. Needless to say I went after it.
Not only did I see it but Lee Evans (who had been directing us from the Church in Hillesden) suddenly turned up at the site with a camera crew in tow. They were apparently doing a Documenatary on Birdwatching and started to interview Lee whilst he put them onto the bird. They then went on to interview quite a few other birders there.

Drove over to Universal Mines, former strip mines rehabilitated to grassland, to look for grassland birds. A good morning, with five birds that can't be found in my area. My Year List is now up to 456.
452. Dickcissel
453. Bell's Vireo
454. Henslow's Sparrow
455. Ring-necked Pheasant
456. Bobolink
I also saw Grasshopper Sparrow which was an Indiana year bird, and the Bobolink was number 300 on my ABA Area/North America Year List.

Did you manage to see the Nightjar?! I tried the other night, only heard them.
