"today was the first day that the temperature cracked 100 in two years"..What!! I live in the Central Valley in Northern California and every place in the interior gets days above 100 many times a year I think what you meant to say was the coastal LA basin. But everywhere else in California specially 10 to 20 miles inland from the beach gets temperatures above 100. we've had about 25 so far and although it's an unusually warm summer, it's common to get 15 to 20 days above 100 every year. There is a mark difference between the coast and the interior parts of California.. for example I live in Stockton work currently it's 102. But I have a second home in Monterey on the coast and it's 69. It's common to have 30-40° difference in temperatures between the being ON the coast and the interior.

This just made me realize (once again) how far birds can fly! A couple of weeks ago I was getting some nice views of hundreds of Scopoli's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) returning to their nesting cliffs 15min away from my hometown in Menorca (Spain). Crazy to think they go as far as USA... and come back regularly to breed! Also crazy to think that I *might* share an observation of a singular individual with a birder 6400km (4000 miles) away!

I'm enjoying following this saga from the UK. Of course, it's odd to see you chasing birds such as Eurasian goldfinches, Egyptian geese and ring-necked parakeets but it's all great fun.

I hope you’re going for a Yellow-footed Gull at the Salton Sea in California because they will be incredibly difficult to find once summer is over.

I came late to your story and must say i was enjoying it and binge watching the episodes. Was admiring your planning, stamina and resilience and cheering you on. Unforttunately i then watched the episode with the suppressed Ptarmigan. I must say i was very disappointed with that behaviour. For me the essence of birding is an altruistic sharing of news and co-operation. Unless the bird is breeding and this is jeapordised or there are other birds similarly endangered or there is fragile environment there is no legitimate basis to suppress news. Selfish oneupmanship is not a valid reason. Disappointing.
@bigyearbirdingEthanАй бұрын
Hi Michael, We're glad you are enjoying our videos . . . until the Ptarmagin at least. We too want as many people as possible to enjoy seeing all of the wonderful birds that are to be found. Unfortunately, this bird appeared in a private neighborhood with narrow dirt roads, very limited parking and an association that would not allow for more than a few people to come in to see the bird at a time. Thus the need for controlled entry and no posting to eBird allowed until we were given permission - as doing so would have revealed the location and shut down access to the bird. Had the bird survived, as many people as would have liked to would’ve been able to see the bird. Sadly, that was not the case. Best

Wondering why they named it Scapolli’s Shearwater if they are trying to move away from birds named after people. Won’t they just rename it later?

Glad you finally got the Godwit. What about the House Wren split? Isn't there a new species in the SE Arizona highlands?
@bigyearbirdingEthanАй бұрын
I think they are going to call that the Brown-throated Wren … but I’m not sure how to id one, what they look like or their actual range. Saw a lot of House Wrens in AZ and have a bunch of Merlin recordings… perhaps another arm chair tic????
@betterbirdersАй бұрын
@@bigyearbirdingEthan It is found in the Mexican highlands and a little bit of its range sneaks into SE AZ. Found at High elevations in the 'sky islands'. Unfortunately the only house wrens I found in SE arizona this year were at low elevation (san pedro RNCA). Still not sure how to ID them but hopefully you guys can figure it out!

I've visited SE Arizona the last two years in late July it's awesome. First year I got 13 different hummers. Only need the Plain Capped Star throat to complete the set lol they are rare, and there when I'm not lol Btw the Blue-throated Mountain Gem is considered the largest hummingbird in North America. I've added 100 new birds to my list thanks to SE Arizona. I hope one day to make another trip out there from Tennessee where I live.
