Congratulations Jacana! What a good find!

Thanks! I wish it was my original find!

One more yesterday

201. Red-backed Shrike

 

[Reader]

I went over to the Wyre Forest yesterday but struck out on virtually most of the birds I was hoping for. I did add two new year birds though.

95. Pied Flycatcher
96. Dipper.

Been very frustrated birding for a week. People have found cool birds, I looked for a non-singing worm-eating warbler with a group for 30 minutes and gave up. It's from my pre-eBird days that I found one in Missouri, and I do not have a date to put it under. I do have that location and year.

192 Acadian Flycatcher Wilderness Park--S. 14th St. west
193 Tennessee Warbler Wilderness Park--S. 14th St. west
194 Mourning Warbler Wilderness Park--14th Street pond
195 Yellow-billed Cuckoo Wilderness Park US-NE
196 Alder Flycatcher

 

[Jacana]

Four more in the past 3 days, including a rather rare bird for Sweden (and a silly moment for myself!)

202. European Honey Buzzard
203. Icterine Warbler
204. Black-winged Stilt
205. Garganey

I saw the Stilt and Garganey this morning, though I made a mistake with the Swedish translations and instead of twitching the hoped for Stilt Sandpiper (which would have been a World lifer!) I ended up twitching a Black-winged Stilt instead... Felt a little stupid, but Stilt is a fantastic bird for Sweden, so that's a silver lining.

206. Bluethroat
207. Eurasian Hobby
208. Spotted Flycatcher

Today at the northern tip of Öland on a failed River Warbler twitch.

 

[Nightjar61]

Migration is winding down and new birds are getting harder to find. Only one addition to the Year List today.

316. Black-billed Cuckoo

This morning I went to a neighboring county to chase a rarity that was found two days ago. I quickly and easily found my target.

319. Sedge Wren

It was a state lifer (number 289), my fourth of the year.

We have then here twice a year, on their way North and back. They linger quite a while in August and sing while here.
