Didnt take a lot of photos, but had a great weekend

Just finished my 3 day trip for Biggest Week in American Birding. 116 species and 4 lifers. KIRTLAND'S WARBLER Black tern Savannahs sparrow Philadelphia vireo ebird.org/tripreport/3...

ebird.org/tripreport/3... Day 1 of lake Erie birding complete. 62 species and 2 lifers. Tomorrow starts the @biggestweekbirding.bsky.social

2nd stop of the day. Magee Marsh. Lifer Philadelphia vireo. 10 warbler species.

First stop of the day. Metzger Marsh to join in the Morning Flight count. Lifer black tern. Alao got my 2nd ever sighting of a yellow headed blackbird.

ONE WEEK AWAY, going up to Biggest Week in American Birding. Festival technically starts in 8 days. I plan for this 3 day trip for 6 months. Hope to meet new groups this year. Last year I saw 100 species and 10 lifers. @biggestweekbirding.bsky.social Black Swamp Bird Observatory

Sora just wadding around. Only second ever time seeing one, first was last year, it was just flying away from me. This one just hung out 10ft away. Orewiler Marsh, Clear Fork Resevoir.

@theineptbirder.bsky.social I went to the scioto audobon metropark after work yesterday. That place is great. Only had 45 mins, so I will definitely try to go back soon.

Springtime brings...backyard osprey! Third soring we have lived here and a pair nest on the TOP of the TV tower. About 300 yards away and can see without binoculars. so it counts.

#BWIAB Biggest Week in American Birding plans are set! Group walk with Greater Mohican Audobon Society on Thursday, Big Day van tour on Friday, and Cedar Point NWR van tour on Saturday.

Pretty cool bird to get to 100 for the year. American White Pelican. Clear Fork Resevoir, Lexington, Ohio

@wiscobirder.bsky.social You going to do any group walks at Biggest Week this year? I'm going the first weekend so I won't be there when your speaking.

Bracket busted....

It's only March 15th and I already have Spring Migration FOMO. Less than 2 months till the Biggest Week in American Birding.

I'm now watching Reacher through the lens of @theferocity.bsky.social We have never met, but you've doubled my enjoyment of this show. Everytime something ridiculous happens, I think of your response.

I had a dream last night where I argued that the play Hamlet was named so because it took place in an area whose population was less than that of a village.

2nd goose this week, makes this a wild geese chase instead. Snow goose, blue morph

Went on a wild goose chase! Ross's goose. Number 75 for the year.

#birders Is there a messaging app you use to communicate with other groups of birders? If you go to a birding festival, how do you keep updated on what's being seen?

Today was registration day for birding trips at Biggest Week in American Birding. #bwiab Going on a Big Day van trip. See if I can beat my 3 day total from last year of 100 species
