Four new ones this week.

249. Red-necked Nightjar (incredibly, I heard this from my bed in the night - they breed in the local park, but I've never noticed one this far from there before)
250. Ring-necked Duck (first time seeing this on this side of the Atlantic)
251. Western Orphean Warbler
252. Western Black-eared Wheatear (first time in three years!)

This has been one of the hardest years ever, with respect to adding to my Year List. I’m way behind where I was at this time of the year compared to most previous years. I’ve been struggling to add a species or two here and there. Today was a little better, with five new birds for the year, all flycatchers and warblers.

487. Magnolia Warbler
488. Acadian Flycatcher
489. Alder Flycatcher
490. Canada Warbler
491. Blackburnian Warbler
