White-winged Crossbill, last week in St. Joseph, Missouri :t:. And a nice milestone bird- #600 for the ABA area for me! (2604 world)

Almost had Purple Sandpiper in Oklahoma a few days ago... but the darned thing flew away an hour before I got there :-C

Bendire's Thrasher and Brewer's Blackbird.

White Wagtail at Cabrillo Beach (near Long Beach), California. I don't know how many have been seen in California but almost certainly less than 5 or 6.

 

[Xenospiza]

The little-inspiring Cinereous-breasted Spinetail after a NE-Brazil trip with nearly 160 lifers that included the expected Araripe Manakin, Lear's Macaw and Hooded Visorbearer and the less-expected Ash-throated Casiornis, Chestnut-capped Foliage-gleaner (a new site for this off-the-beaten-track species in an area on the tour group trail!) and Uniform Crake (good views!)
Trip report due some time this quarter...

I finally got my first good look at a Hawfinch on Saturday, at Bramfield, Hertfordshire.

Last lifer

I think it was a Lesser Yellowlegs a few months back. Dont get many 'lifers' lately haha.

Short-eared Owl late last year.
Watched two again this month. Every few minutes they would fly up together and hover for a split second facing each other. Presumably some kind of bonding behavior.

On 01/06/2013 at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park in Gainesville, Florida:
Bell's Vireo (eastern race).

I have never been at this species breeding range during the breeding season thus my first one is a wintering bird, first record for Alachua County (another birder had found it, I just twitched it).
