Zoochat Big Year 2024

Birds
143. Lewin's Honeyeater (Meliphaga lewinii)
Just realised I counted Bar-shouldered Dove twice; I forgot I saw one in Newcastle back in January! Therefore my total is actually at 142.
One of my most exciting wildlife encounters of the year so far that wasn't a lifer occurred yesterday at Penrith Weir.
As I was watching a Great Cormorant (crikey, they're big up close!) fishing at the weir, I just missed an Osprey dive into the water and catch a fish! It was then chased around by a group of ravens for about 5 minutes. This is only my second ever wild osprey!

Birds
143. Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
 
I had probably the easiest owl sighting this morning. I decided to check out a nature preserve in Fort Wayne that I never went to last year. It wasn't a great morning for birds as I mostly heard birds rather than saw them. I stopped on one of the elevated boardwalks when a barred owl flew by. It was surprising to see it active at 9 am, too.

Fantastic Mammal total so far! Congrats on all those cool bats- from your user name I'm sure that was exciting haha. Did you go to Panama or Costa Rica, or both? My suggestion is #9 should be the now split Dark Four-eyed Opossum (Philander melanurus). Do you ever use iNaturalist app?

Also curious exactly where you saw the Crab-eating Raccoon?

Nothing nicer that going to a new location and recording a whole bunch of new species. Unfortunately does not seem likely for a while currently.

I was only in Costa Rica, unless you count a brief layover at the Tocumen Airport.

I hadn't heard of the Philander opossum split. Thanks! The ASM Mammal Diversity Database doesn't list Costa Rica within P. melanurus's range... But it looks like P. opossum is only in South America now? I do use iNat but didn't manage to photograph the Philander (which is a shame because I got excellent views).

Although I had been told by another person present that the raccoons were Crab-eating, going through my photos later I believe they were Northern. I corrected this in a later post, which I am sure is now buried in this thread somewhere.

But yes, the bats were epic. ;) Honduran White Bat especially was obviously really cool. Unfortunately I did have a pretty big bat miss though, as I had been told of a vampire bat roost, but when I went to check it it was empty.

.
From what I could work out:
  • Americans tend to hate raccoons because they get into their trash bins.
  • The raccoons eat crabs when near water.
  • Most tourists are American, so tourist authorities and guides tend to call them crab-eating raccoons so as to not put the American tourists off.
  • Real crab-eating raccoons avoid people and are quite rare, especially in Panama and Costa Rica, so almost never seen.
At least that was the story in Panama
 
Today has been a very warm one so far but it did bring out the odonata species out over the lake on my campus and finally got me to two hundred invertebrate species for the year so far:

199) Four-spotted chaser Libellula quadrimaculata
200) Common blue emperor dragonfly Anax imperator
 
Spending some time in Pennsylvania, it's been deadly hot but I saw a few species at the local park yesterday:

302. Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula)
303. Rose-Breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus)

Amphibians:

See this post for the splits and distributions: The Zoochat Photographic Guide to Monotremes and Marsupials

There is some uncertainty about distribution limits in Central America for the splits.
 
A trip to the Canary Islands brought me every Tenerife and Fuerteventura endemic bird (except the shearwater, which seems to have become even more increasingly rare), plus a lot more. Our good friends Kevin and Alicia were getting married in Kevin's home island of Tenerife, and, after a truly beautiful wedding, I set about ticking the endemics (via public transport). I am actually going to write a trip report at some point, as might be useful for nondrivers. Also, several of the birds I saw are speculatively full species as opposed to subspecies. I have listed them as such below including the non resolved species.

Mammals
13. Barbary ground squirrel

Birds
213. Yellow legged gull
214. Canary Islands chiffchaff
215. Spanish sparrow
216. Berthelot's pipit
217. Atlantic canary
218. Plain swift
219. White-tailed laurel pigeon
220. Grey wagtail
221. Turtle dove
222. African blue tit
223. Sardinian warbler
224. Barbary partridge
225. Cory's OR Scopoli's shearwater.
I saw lots of these out at sea from a sea watch. Conflicting sources on the internet attribute these as either Scopoli or Cory's. Any opinions?

226. Bolle's laurel pigeon
227. Tenerife goldcrest
This is a speculative split, which makes sense to me. Very distinct from familiar goldcrests in the UK.

228. Canary Islands chaffinch
229. Tenerife blue chaffinch
230. Laughing dove
231. Egyptian vulture
232. Great grey shrike
The grey shrike on the islands has variously been classified as L. excubitor, L. meridionalis, and L. elegans. Consensus is excubitor but I think it might well be elegans. Counting it as excubitor here.

233. Spectacled warbler
234. Trumpeter finch
235. Black-bellied sandgrouse
236. Eurasian hoopoe
237. Fuerteventura stonechat
238. Tenerife robin
Now mooted as a full split and noticeably distinct.

Plus Barbary falcon, now lumped into peregrine.

Herps
2. Tenerife giant lizard
3. Tenerife wall gecko
4. Atlantic lizard

A trip to Chobham Common for nightjars (with bat detector in tow) didn't disappoint. Can thoroughly recommend the Four Horseshoes for a drink, if anyone is ever birding up that way.

Mammals
14. Noctule bat
15. Common pipistrelle
16. Brown long-eared bat

Birds
239. Eurasian nightjar
240. Dartford warbler
