Early fall migrants, such as some ducks and warblers, are starting to trickle in. This morning I saw my first new bird for the year in well over a month. I picked up a warbler that I should have easily seen in the spring but which I somehow missed. I'm now at 221.

...just zis guy, you know?
Ah. So, a non-trivial amount of effort required, then. That may explain why I've never seen one.

This morning I chased a rare vagrant from the desert southwest. I found my target, which puts me at 223 for the year. It was also a state lifer (number 251).
223. White-winged Dove
The dove has been coming to a feeder at a private residence. Although the homeowner is an experienced birder, it took him a couple of days to realize that it was something rare and not a partially leucistic Mourning Dove.

A new fall migrant this morning puts me at 224 for the year.
224. Bay-breasted Warbler
Last year I saw 223 species in West Virginia, which was a personal best. Today's bird breaks that record, and with fall migration ahead and over three months left in the year, I should be able to add at least ten more to this year's total.

I got to 148 by the end of August, with black tern the only additional lifer. This past Saturday was pretty good:
149 Cattle egret
150 Wryneck
151 Grey plover
152 Yellow-legged gull (UK tick, previously seen in Italy)
Then on Sunday I took my UK 2015 odonata list up to 27 with small red-eyed damselfly.

It's been a while since my last update in May. I've not been doing much birding since the end of my field season but I've picked up a few along the way, but most of them were back in June and all were in Sweden:
183. Western Osprey
184. Black-throated Diver
185. Brent Goose
186. Black-tailed Godwit
187. Common Rosefinch
188. Western Yellow Wagtail
189. European Nightjar
190. European Honey-buzzard
191. Willow Tit
192. Eurasian Reed Warbler
193. Sedge Warbler
194. Bluethroat
195. Rough-legged Buzzard
196. Taiga Bean Goose
Things should pick up again next week however, as I'll be heading to West Virginia for a conference and I'll have a few days at the end for birding. It'll be my first trip to the states so I'm looking forward to getting some of the common stuff there!
