292. Ruby-crowned Kinglet
293. Blue-winged Warbler
294. Common Yellowthroat
295. White-eyed Vireo
296. Red-eyed Vireo

298. Northern Parula

An exciting weekend for me. I added White-winged Dove and Inca Dove for the year and Kentucky Warbler, Broad-winged Hawk, and Swallow-tailed Kite to my life list. They were all seen from my parents' suburban backyard in Baytown, Texas. That brings me up to 119 for the year and 149 lifers.

Had to pull the car over today when we spotted three sandhill cranes overhead. When we got out to watch the sandhills a northern harrier tried to steal our attention by doing aerial maneavers (flipping onto its back and diving). It was all very cool.
73. common loon
74. merlin
75. sandhill crane
76. lesser scaup

^ Beat me to it!!!
Tricky place to find, you're better approaching it from Ludlow end, head out on A49 & then turn left at the island. Then turn left again in Clee Hill and stop at the second cattle grid!! The bird is very mobile, but due to the habitat (high hedges, no access, private land etc.), it kindda works in your favour. We saw it well in flight 3 times & perched in a tree twice - totally awesome bird, way better looker than the Wenlock bird last year!!
Went to Bridges today and got....
152 - Pied Flycatcher. (2x male).
153 - Redstart. (3x male).
....and then at VP...
154 - Blackcap. (at bloody last!!!...missed a Whimbrel there yesterday though, but picked up a Sanderling at Chelmarsh - a good county tick for ya there, Will
).
