Title: Lifer
Post by: boneaddict on May 29, 2023, 08:21:53 AM: I’ve had one or two of these this year. In Birding, the term means first ever seen. In my case I like to use it as first ever filmed.

I missed a really good shot on him as handling the big camera is kind of cumbersome, but he did pause long enough for me to get this overly cropped shot. (https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v47/boneaddict/9BA0B4BD-11AB-41D0-A2EE-89C951D11ADF.png)

I've never seen one.

I didn’t have it with me on this trip, but we used it the other day to identify a new sound at our house. A chipping sparrow. I didn’t get a good photo of the bird or I’d get it posted here. I did get to see it. I never knew there were so many sparrows.
