As autumn Passage migration reaches full swing, a lovely collection of birds arrive before travelling to their wintering grounds. Living in a country that is a hub for passage migration, there are many species that stop here. Currently, I am after the hoopoe which I have seen before but would love …

If I will get ready to look for birds it’ll be a Snow Bunting or Horned Lark, finding a missing owl will be a great success too, but I have no hope for that.

The yellow-bellied sapsuckers have been elusive for me this year. I missed them in the spring and I haven’t found one this fall either. :/ Later this season, I really want to find Snow Buntings and Lapland Longspurs, but I’ve never had any luck finding them…

Black faced grassquit chicks. I have seen the adults building the nest an getting comfy, but so far, no chicks!

I’m looking forward to all the warblers passing through, but especially the Townsend’s Warbler, a species that, while currently common, has eluded me so far.

Winter visitors I’m hoping to add to my life list are Red Knot, Bufflehead, Common Goldeneye, American Bittern, Rusty Blackbird, Purple Finch, and Fox Spar…

I’m waiting for those northern North American species; any of them! I’m hoping to get evening grosbeaks and pine siskins (a pine grosbeak would be incredible). I have my ear out for owls–snowy, saw-whet, and the like. I’m also hoping for snow bunting and lapland longspur!

As someone who’s getting into birds, I’d like to find any bird that’s not a house sparrow or starling.
