January 1st joint Birdforum list (2025 edition) (1 Viewer)

Easy to do - we already had it from Turkey, but that list isn't for the European bit of Turkey.

It's under C for Common.

You asked earlier about a Redstart. I don't know about Spain specifically, but Black does seem a lot more likely than Common, and we've had Black reported several other times so it's probably best that we don't laim Common Redstart. The ID ought to be confident in order to claim it, so if there's doubt it's best not to.
Sorry about the raven, another senior moment! Agree that the Redstart should be Black Redstart.
 
I can add three species from Western Oregon:
Killdeer
Acorn Woodpecker
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
The last is odd, because I failed to list a Red-breasted Sapsucker, though they live in my yard all year, but there's a vagrant Sapsucker from the eastern US spending the winter in the ash trees along the creek. Two photos attached are from the 1st, but the sapsucker photo is from December.

Should now be up to date with everyone who posted before Jos. Jack Snipe was number 640, which makes it kind of remarkable that Rose-ringed Parakeet doesn't seem to have been reported until number 639!

Edit to add: Jos has been added to the USA tab on the spreadsheet but I haven't yet gone through to work out which ones were new for the world and which had been picked up already elsewhere.

Almost done with the World list, then there's just the small matter of combining the 2 European lists to get a continent-wide one. The other tabs that have data (South & Central America and Turkey) are all individual posters so no need for any fun with spreadsheets for them.
 
I can add three species from Western Oregon:
Killdeer
Acorn Woodpecker
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
The last is odd, because I failed to list a Red-breasted Sapsucker, though they live in my yard all year, but there's a vagrant Sapsucker from the eastern US spending the winter in the ash trees along the creek. Two photos attached are from the 1st, but the sapsucker photo is from December.
Acorn Woodpecker was bird number 700.

My Willow Tit is missing (100 on R of Europe list and 340 on World List)!
Fixed. Not sure how that happened. Possibly I had a senior moment while removing the duplicates and treated it as a duplicate of Willow Warbler.
Greylag Goose is also down as Graylag Goose. Please chuck the right one out.

Fixed. The one with the IOC-standard spelling ha been retained.
IOC splits Yellow-rumped Warbler. I found Audubon's Warbler in Oregon on the 1st. Is the one from Southern California Myrtle, by chance?
As I understand it Audubon's is more likely that Myrtle in California, so I've provisionally changed it to Audubon's on the list, unless @CPP Gardener or @Jos Stratford can correct me on that.

Audubon's and Myrtle in California, lots of eastern stuff also turns up in California in winter.
