My last one was a Tree Sparrow. They are not too common in my area and was pleased to see one (well there were around four on the top of a hedgerow). I seen this at Camerton in Cumbria on the 3rd June 2022.
I have yet to publish this sighting in the thread "From my Manhattan Window," but today's life bird is the grasshopper sparrow. Image by Louis Agassiz Fuertes from Eaton's Birds of New York, 1914.
Forest Bittern - totally unexpected sighting on trip to Papua. Local guide thought he had Great-billed Heron to show but as soon as three of us saw it we said in unison Forest Bittern. I even managed a couple of rubbish record shots (all the wrong camera settings as I was trying for a spotlighted Hawk Owl) before it flew off.
Three in one weekend! A hermit thrush, a swamp sparrow, and a white-crowned sparrow. I'm especially excited about the white-crowned sparrow. They're rare in my area, although not at the specific hotspot I went to. There's a family of them that's been there awhile, but every single time I went there, I missed them...but I finally saw one!
