Sometimes I'll try to self-impose a window of time for birding, but I almost always end up going way over.

Last weekend a 3hr car-trip to visit married sons & families before Xmas gave a small window of 1.5 hrs en-route to stop at Staines Res in Surrey UK, my old birding hotspot of 30yrs ago, before moving to Somerset. Needing 3 birds to reach 200 for the year, we soon saw a Blk-n Grebe (Eared Grebe) & 2 Blk -thr Divers (Loons), then just as we we about to leave a Water Pipit flew in and said 'hello' as it landed on the grass embankment. That was it, mission accomplished - just brilliant. Really enjoy your Channel 😃

I never get tired of seeing the Rufous Hummingbirds, Black Capped Chickadees, House Finches or Quail. You should see the Quail roaming natural neighborhoods in AZ, so beautiful. I bet you already have when you visited Tucson and Patagonia a few years ago. 3 hours to find this rare bird, yes = challenge completed. Love your channel. You guys rock!

I’ve had a luck two days in a row here in CO. Saw a yellow throated warbler yesterday, and a Tennessee Warbler today. 2 rare birds in two days. Yesterday there was a Northern Shrike sitting on top of a bush as I was driving away, had to pull over for that. Thanks for sharing your journey!

There was a Common Loon there at Devil's Lake SP (that was marked as "rare" one eBird) back in June that I got to see. It was the first time since I started birding that I got to see one in breeding plumage. As a general rule, I don't try to go out birding with a time limit. When I do, it's just to see what's around, not to get a specific species. Like the one time I had 20 minutes at a marshy lake, and I happened to see several Common Nighthawks flying right over me, which was cool.

Not sure if they're still returning every year, but back in the '60s and' 70s there was a large flock of these finches which over-wintered in cliff swallow nests hanging on to sheer basalt cliffs just downstream of either Little Granite or Lower Monumental Dam on the Snake River in Washington State. It's been so long ago that I'm uncertain which dam.

Bruh for me it was the red-cockaded woodpecker - went to a reserve during nesting season, only had a few hours to spare, I was far from home. They said the trees with potential nest holes are marked in white. I was dawdling in the first stretch, got lifer bachman's sparrow at least, but when I actually got to the woodpecker area, I realized the closest white marked tree was at least 100 yards off the trail. There was no chance of getting a close view without being accompanied by someone at the reserve going off trail and checking the nests. With my time running out, I started heading out, defeated. Then finally a female swoops right in front of me, the call was clearly different than any woodpecker I knew. I ended up getting really great views of the prize with not even a minute to spare. That may be a bird I'll never get the chance to see again

Sweet find!!! What a cute little bird orb the Rosy-finch is! Those colors are indeed spectacular, too! Are golden eagles kinda rare up in your area? I forget sometimes how lucky it is that the college in my town has a Golden Eagle for its mascot...I can make a ten minute car trip (counting parking and traffic) and go see two of 'em at the local zoo, any day it's open. And there's a pretty good population of them here in the southern part of Mississippi, from what I understand, but I forget now what the range is for goldens in the rest of the US. Golden eagles are in point of fact the bird that prompted me to get my first "bird guide" (it was a coloring book, lol) - because I'd learned that there was a program in the Guadalupe Mountains having great success with bringing up golden eagles in captivity and releasing them in that area. But that was back in the 90s and I sure don't recall any more details than that, only that I was extremely excited about getting to see a LOT of eagles near Fort Davis. Which I did!
