American Goldfinch

Saw most of the common species I haven’t used yet today; tough choice among them but I’ll go with this.

#BirdADay March 25

Black-crowned Night Heron

I guess the second hyphen is gone now? 😱😂

#BirdADay March 24

Wild Turkey

OK, there we go… caught up. It’s going to be a near thing whether I can make it to 100. Running out of birds I can reliably get without at least a 40-minute drive and have to do a day job. But the early migrants are trickling in…

Wilson’s Snipe

#BirdADay March 21

One of the craziest rarities I’ve had the pleasure of seeing… and in the same few months as the red-flanked bluetail!

Wasn’t sure I would get this one hanging out at Riley’s/Violette’s lock on the Potomac but did get a decent scoped view at the last minute.

Third Time’s a charm finding this nest with fledglings - embarrassing how obvious it was once I saw it.

Ring-necked Duck

#BirdADay March 8

Lesser Scaup

#BirdADay March 7

Cackling Goose

Was trying to chase a couple rare gulls around Baltimore. Missed those but a nice flock of Canadas had one Cackling (at least).

#BirdADay March 6

American Woodcock

This one was nice… I sat by one field for a long time waiting with no luck, then on the way home rolled my windows down at a stop light and heard some “parents.”

#BirdADay March 5

Red-bellied Woodpecker

Had to use a bunch of gimme birds for a few days in a row there, but still going

Mourning Dove

OK I had fallen off posting but I still have an active streak going! So here’s the catchup!

Eastern Bluebird

60 days!

#BirdADay February 28

Gadwall

Closing out February with a pretty good one… haven’t been keeping up with the posts this week but have been logging the birds.

I don’t think I’ll be able to string this quite into April, but we’ll see!

#BirdADay February 27

European Starling

Another last-resort bird worth a yawn. But I’m gonna make it into March!

#BirdADay February 26

House Finch

What can I say; no real birding but one of these was singing by my office.
