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!

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

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

Catching up on a few days of lackluster results because I didn’t really go birding.

Only waterfowl I saw today; better choice for this than any of the yard birds I suppose.

Not so bad, not so good, keeps the streak going one more day!

Wood Duck
Another FOY, although this one I almost hate to use so soon because I’ll be seeing many more of them through the Spring.

Green-winged Teal
First sighting of this species for me this year.
A check-in on the overall project… I am feeling pretty good about stretching this into Spring migration without missing any days. I’ve got 19 “last resort” species left. Only used about 5 so far.

Last-minute savior for the day; not a bad one to use.

White-Breasted Nuthatch
Dreary day with little time to go birding anyway, so I don’t feel too bad using one of the old reliable yard species here.

Cedar Waxwing
Flock of 15-20 of these was passing through while I was on my afternoon walk. Not a bad bird to use for this challenge!

Purple Gallinule
Regrettably for this project, but thankfully for my family life, I am flying home this evening so tomorrow I’ll be back to my local expected species only!

Short-tailed Hawk
Wasn’t sure I’d be able to tick this species on the trip but I did! And a beautiful bird it was. Three days in a row of life birds!

Snowy Plover
How did I forget to post yesterday’s bird when it was also a lifer? Haze of travel I guess. Also fun to run into another birder and try to figure out winter plumage shorebirds with her at Ft DeSoto State Park!

Black-bellied Whistling-Duck
Lifer! But, I saw around 50 of these guys across a couple different locations today. Good start to the Florida trip!

Field Sparrow
Off to Florida for a work trip (OK I’m extending it to go birding over the weekend) after this one, so that should help me string this thing out a *bit* longer.

Black Vulture
I knew this week would be a little tight on time for birding, so still using some easy ones… traveling in a few days which should counterbalance a bit.

Back-to-back fallback birds but I’m gonna try to get out into the field properly tomorrow.

Listen. Birds like this were always gonna get used for this exercise *eventually.* This week is gonna be a tough one to find time.

Canvasback
Waterfowl in the area are conveniently congregating anywhere that isn’t frozen over, so that’s pretty helpful for keeping a chain like this going. I am beginning to think I *just might* be able to keep this going until Spring migration?

White-winged Scoter
I was actually chasing a Greater White-fronted Goose and hoping maybe for a Red-breasted Merganser or some Scaups. Didn’t see any of those but there was this surprise! It disappeared behind the hundreds of Canada geese but not before I got a nice look.

Yellow-rumped Warbler
A gift! I didn’t go birding today and was about to mark down mourning dove for the day, but as I was changing I looked out my bedroom window and one of these guys was foraging right t eye level.

Hermit Thrush
A skulky boi that can be found with a little effort here in the winter, but will be gone from the area by the end of March.

Oh shit I didn’t post yesterday’s bird, but it was my first “fallback” bird, meaning one I could find almost any day all year in my own yard.
