Western Tanager (female)! In New Jersey! (Barnegat Light). Got some great shots of her too. A lifer for me.

Yesterday I saw my first ever American Wigeons (Circle-B Reserve, FL) and today I saw my first Snow Goose (Weeki Wachee Preserve, FL).

I saw a ruby crowned kinglet not to long ago right in my own backyard

Wow, what a day!  My first (local) American Bittern (two of!), Northern Harrier, Kestrel, Osprey, Wood Peewee, Snipe, and hundreds (literally) of Egrets/Herons coming into roost.  The drizzle tried to spoil things (it certainly kiboshed most of my photography) but it was a HUGE day for birding!  :)

The Grey catbirds are here in Maine, June- July- and Aug.

Oh, that is awesome!  Turkey Creek has a bobcat roaming around sometimes, but I have never seen it (or any) personally.  Congrats on that wildlife sighting!

 

Do the Grey Catbirds go elsewhere during the summer then?  I just saw my pair today next to the feeder area and yesterday we saw one at Turkey Creek.  I noticed that I didn't hear their little calls all summer long, but I never thought of them as migratory (but I haven't ever researched them either).

I saw three E. Phoebes yesterday at my local Preserve (haven't seen them recently) so they're obviously around now.  Also, tonnes of Gray Catbirds and a BG Gnatcatcher.  The owls are calling too (around 6pm).  Oh, and a pair of Pileated WPs (haven't seen them for ages).  I know it's not a bird, but I also saw my first ever bobcat!  :)

Warblers... lots of them... but I haven't IDed them all yet.  Today, again, I saw Black-throated Blue, Black and White, and I think Magnolia, all at Turkey Creek in Palm Bay FL.  The others... might be anyone's guess (I think at least one was a female BTBW).  I tried to get photos of as many as I could, but I don't know how many will yield IDs.  There were also small flycatchers, but I am not sure what type.  One of the other people birding said he suspected E. Wood Peewee.  I don't think those photos will get me an ID because they were pretty far out and high up.

 

In my yard, the male Painted Bunting made an appearance yesterday and I think the E. Phoebe is back also... it was like a "feeder reunion" out there this weekend!  Awesome! :)
