Getting hard to find new birds in the vicinity. I'm at the point where I'm driving an hour or two just in the hopes of picking up a single species here and there. RB was a cool spot for woodpeckers. At one point I had all three spotteds in front of me at the same time :)
Also have a new bogey bird in White-throated Dipper. That one just doesn't wanna play ball. :(

Small update from the last couple of weeks. Not a whole lot of new birds but definitely some good ones! Brown Creeper is a species I've been trying to find for a while, so it was great to finally see one (definitely smaller than I expected!). Pied-Billed Grebe was an unexpected lifer that I saw today; all grebes are awesome but this species is particularly great.

66. Brown Creeper, Certhia americana
67. Common Grackle, Quiscalus quiscula
68. Double-Crested Cormorant, Phalacrocorax auritus

93. Caspian Tern
Click to expand...

One of the cool things in this thread is that sometimes people from the other side of the world can see the very same species! Last week I also saw a Caspian tern. It appeared in one of my local birding spots, and while the species is not rare in the Netherlands it is extremely rare in my region, so I was very pleased to see it! The rest is another batch of spring migrants from a few local birding sessions.
