Went looking for Whitethroats today in places where I recorded them in previous years. At the first site I found a male Whinchat with two other undetermined birds
83. Whinchat
At the second site there was another Lesser Whitethroat.
At the third site I found a Common Sandpiper
84. Common Sandpiper
and then I walked around and came upon a Whitethroat in a low bush at the edge of carp fishing pond (where I saw Lesser Whitethroat in 2012).
85. Whitethroat
So when I went home, in a bush a few buildings from home I found another Whitethroat LOL o

[AlexC]

Last Sunday:
239. Western Tanager
240. MacGillivray's Warbler (lifer)
241. Lazuli Bunting
242. Nanday Parakeet (lifer) - ABA status murky for CA birds... FL population accepted, CA not evaluated based on CRBC's stance against. Individuals I saw were from established population in the Santa Monica Mountains. So as long as they meet ABA conditions for established population based on my evaluation as observer, they are technically "countable." So, yes on my ABA lists sensu stricto, not on my CA / LA County lists sensu stricto.
243. Warbling Vireo

 

[Larry Lade]

137. Red-shouldered Hawk
138. Chimney Swift

All seen in the Saint Joseph, Missouri area.

Went to a group field trip today to a fishpond. I guess we would find more species if we didn't have so many children in our group who decided to play fencing with reed stalks

89. Eurasian Marsh-Harrier
90. White-winged Tern

On my way home I stopped by the local forest to listen for Golden Orioles, but couldn't find any. Instead I found a flock of migrating
95. Spotted Flycatcher

 

[JeffMoh]

194 Brown Thrasher

How did it take so long to get such a common bird?

[Larry Lade]

139. Baltimore Oriole, down around Lake Contrary, Saint Joseph, Missouri.

I know I am rather lagging behind with my 2014 Missouri Bird Count, but things should pick up for me through the month of May. That is usually my best month in Missouri.

 

[Nightjar61]

Saw a good selection of migrants today, even though cool, windy weather over the last couple weeks or so is slowing down migration from what it should be.

139. Black-throated Blue Warbler
140. Hooded Warbler
141. Louisiana Waterthrush
142. Spotted Sandpiper
143. Cliff Swallow
