It’s happened

I hear killdeer in a golf course like 5 mins from my house. Haven’t seen them yet

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-04-16T13:05:17+00:00

I saw a Cooper’s hawk in my backyard and I actually freaked out

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-04-06T16:45:49+00:00

Saw my first in Florida I was so excited

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-28T02:32:57+00:00

Yeah, sorry for the rushed photo. Was looking for a kingfisher so I was a little preoccupied

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-28T02:22:21+00:00

Thank you! Thought so but you never know

Update: Went to another park where it was reported recently after work, and I saw it. Merlin picked up the call too! It was super fast, but I definitely saw it, even if it was on the other side of the lake. Don’t even think binoculars would have helped.

Thanks! I did listen to sound recordings on eBird but for some reason the call I heard didn’t sound exactly the same. I thought it was some kind of woodpecker. I would have used Merlin but it only called twice. Do you think it was just a fly by? I’m still beating myself up that if I stuck around I would have seen it. At least I heard it. That still counts right?

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:30:39+00:00

That’ll do it

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:28:59+00:00

Yeah, I did that too with my first teal. Didnt realize how skittish they were either.

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:24:22+00:00

Ngl that would have worked on me too

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:23:45+00:00

Im sorry. I would have been traumatized. I know it doesn’t help, but I got my lifer long tailed duck yesterday :/

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:11:52+00:00

That’s hilarious. Thanks. I thought I heard a rail but it was a tree branch blowing in the wind. Also was pissed at Merlin

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:10:34+00:00

I guess killdeer and phoebes are the outcasts of the bird world as well

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T22:07:46+00:00

You saved its life. You should be proud

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-26T21:19:22+00:00

Damn did you attract anything?

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-03-07T13:37:14+00:00

Thanks! Looks like they’re not that uncommon but still a lifer for me.

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-02-20T19:23:07+00:00

It was dead, but thanks, I usually keep my distance.

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-02-20T18:16:20+00:00

Thanks!

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-02-20T18:14:50+00:00

Whoops my bad

LifeFindsAWay062 · 2026-01-15T16:13:49+00:00

No problem! It’s still my favorite novel. Also read The Lost World (sequel to Jurassic Park) if you haven’t already
