104	Black-breasted Wood Quail	Odontophorus leucolaemus		25/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	I prefer to think of these as wood-quakers, based on where I first stalked a family of them through the dankness.	
105	Singing Quail	Dactylortyx thoracicus		03/01/2024	Mexico; Campeche; Calakmul	We camped deep in the primary forest and woke surrounded by quiet skulkers. This shy little demure lump became an overdramatic soprano when we used playback to try to coax him into view.

115	Western Capercaillie	Tetrao urogallus		08/04/2021	Sweden; Jönköpings län	We worked *hard* for this bird. A day after a scouting hike turned up tons of scat on a dirt track presumably used for grit, we returned in the very early morning to try to find them, only to find that it was likely black grouse scat. Dejected, we decided to drive dirt roads for the rest of the morning, and stumbled upon a pair. The female remained for phenomenal views. Paydirt.

121	Green Pheasant	Phasianus versicolor		18/06/2014	Japan; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture; KEK	After hours over multiple trips chasing tailfeathers and distant croaks I finally found one gleaming pheasant just out in the open. Then another, five minutes later. 	
122	Swinhoe's Pheasant	Lophura swinhoii		21/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan	I bushwhacked to try to find a trail and ended up in an empty forest. After a while of standing and scanning I heard something right next to me and looked down to find a spectacular male pheasant just chilling. "Wow" is inadequate.

124	Chinese Bamboo Partridge	Bambusicola thoracicus		23/05/2016	Japan; Ibaraki; Urushijo	5am bike ride like the good old days--my first in the last 8+ weeks here, due to a deadly workload. BEAST beam studies.  	
125	Caspian Snowcock	Tetraogallus caspius		15/07/2022	Turkey; Aladaglar; su yalagi	We paid so much for this bird: many hours of sleep, three trips up a tortuous road, and countless hours cowering behind rocks hiding from frigid wind while scoping rock faces. But it was all worth it, and then some, when we finally got a view of a noisy crag chicken staking claim to the whole mountain. 	
126	See-see Partridge	Ammoperdix griseogularis		16/07/2022	Turkey; Sanliurfa; Biricik; Wadi	While we were in Biricik, we were several times interrupted by excited locals calling "See-see partridge!" to us. They are understandably proud of this bird. 	
127	Sand Partridge	Ammoperdix heyi		02/01/2022	Jordan; Wadi Dana	We worked hard for these on a grueling but spectacular Wadi Dana hike. Wonderful; the Rock Hyraxes were just as awesome. 	
128	Brown Quail	Synoicus ypsilophorus		11/01/2014	New Zealand; Tiritiri Matangi Island	[NON-NATIVE] We thought it was a kiwi for like 1 microsecond. 	
129	Common Quail	Coturnix coturnix		24/06/2021	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Siegaue	An hour of wading waist-deep through fallow chasing a Star Wars cantina call afforded us the customary explosion and whirring and stillness.

141	Mexican Whip-poor-will	Antrostomus arizonae		20/07/2015	USA; Arizona; Santa Rita Lodge	Flushed from the wash pre-dawn upon leaving my Proctor Rd. camp spot. 	
142	Red-necked Nightjar	Caprimulgus ruficollis		01/08/2020	Spain; Aragon; Valfarta	The best campsite in Europe. Quiet, empty, and surrounded by steppe. The sight of this phantom wafting above us with radiant lavender eyes will stay with me forever. 	
143	European Nightjar	Caprimulgus europaeus		27/06/2021	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Drover Heide	Not so much a bird as an orb-bearing buoyancy. 	
144	Large-tailed Nightjar	Caprimulgus macrurus		17/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Xuân Vân	Somehow flushed it with a pish. 	
145	Papuan Frogmouth	Podargus papuensis		23/07/2017	Australia; Queensland; Daintree Boatman tour	A morning boat tour with a knowledgable boatman. Bud's mind combusted when we saw a huge sunning croc.

197	Green-crowned Brilliant	Heliodoxa jacula		25/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	These manage to be pretty boring, except when the light catches their forehead just right and the glancing blow knocks the air out of you.

226	Coppery-headed Emerald	Microchera cupreiceps		23/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	The Katzes have a lovely bush against their window with orange flowers and bunches of hummers. This gorgeous little thing is a CR endemic.

238	Great Bustard	Otis tarda		02/08/2020	Spain; Aragon; Tornos	Our top 4 targets for post-Pyrenees Spain were the two bustards and the two sandgrouse. We worked hard but never saw any, so we decided to drive way out of our way to try for a more reliable bustard spot. Success (even if it was only heat shimmery scope views)! It was worth the flat tire on the way back to camp (and all of the attendant cost and stress). 	
239	Groove-billed Ani	Crotophaga sulcirostris		14/06/2012	Costa Rica; Cariari	Roadside. After seeing the first one they were suddenly everywhere.

251	Shining Bronze Cuckoo	Chrysococcyx lucidus		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Tongariro River	P only. Manda opted to stay in the care while I scoped the river in the dreary chilly rain. A weird noise alerted me to a brief view of the only cuckoo we saw on the trip.

253	Northern Hawk-Cuckoo	Hierococcyx hyperythrus		02/09/2015	Japan; Ibaraki; KEK	I've been stalking these buggers four early mornings in a row. I am finally barely confident enough to ID the species after a pair flew over my head. BEAST integration.

310	Common Gallinule	Gallinula galeata		25/03/2015	USA; Hawai`i; Kaua`i; Wailua	We've been seeing these for years, just barely noticed they weren't on the list. Weird. Anyway, I put the date for a recent siting of G. g. sandvicensis, even though that wasn't our first of that ssp. either. 	
311	Common Moorhen	Gallinula chloropus		01/01/2005	USA; Arizona; Sweetwater Wetlands, Tucson

313	Red-knobbed Coot	Fulica cristata		01/08/2020	Spain; Valencia; El Fondo	A brief drive-by birding stop, a day after exploring a nearly empty Alhambra in 100+ degree heat. This is yet another of those "not nearly as boring as I expected" birds. 	
314	Hawaiian Coot	Fulica alai		24/11/2013	USA; Hawai'i; O'ahu; Pouhala Marsh	We've actually seen a bunch of these. I got confused and thought that I had surely either added it already or it was just a subspecies. But no! Looks like a regular coot to me.

318	Australasian Swamphen	Porphyrio melanotus		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Ambury Regional Park	The pukeko were superabundant at this park. Later in the trip they would serve mostly as distractions while we looked for weka. Bud thought the pukeko were hilarious. 	
319	South Island Takahe	Porphyrio hochstetteri		28/12/2013	New Zealand; Zealandia	The magic was a bit blunted by the fact that they were visiting feeders, but... this is a profound bird. Feels ancient. Miles wanted to wrestle with them.

330	New Zealand Grebe	Poliocephalus rufopectus		09/01/2014	New Zealand; Lake Taupo, Old Wharf	Among thousands of black swans we scoped a single and exceedingly handsome dabchick.

344	South Island Oystercatcher	Haematopus finschi		30/12/2013	New Zealand; Oamaru	Just sitting in a big urban park. Oystercatchers are phenomenal but these can't compare to the all-black variables. 	
345	Variable Oystercatcher	Haematopus unicolor		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Ambury Regional Park	Not only were the adults just stunning [all-black phase], but they had chicks which were exactly as cute as you'd expect baby oystercatchers to be. Our kids were amused. 	
346	Black-winged Stilt	Himantopus himantopus		27/04/2013	China; Beijing; Olympic Forest Park	A flock of ~25 stilts flying noisily above open water in the very early morning. 	
347	Pied Stilt	Himantopus leucocephalus		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Ambury Regional Park	All stilts rock. These are more refined than most--we even saw a hybrid black x pied at Miranda Shorebird Center, but missed on the coveted black stilts. An all-black stilt? Yes please!	
348	Black-necked Stilt	Himantopus mexicanus			USA; Arizona	Hawaiian race seen 13 Feb 2013 on O'ahu.

361	Northern Lapwing	Vanellus vanellus		13/05/2012	Italy; Padova	From bus. Flushed from field.

363	Grey-headed Lapwing	Vanellus cinereus		30/05/2015	Japan; Gifu; Between Kuwana and Yoro	Several birds in rice paddies spied from the local Yoro Line train. At the very beginning of a brutal, fruitless day that was still very rewarding. 	
364	Masked Lapwing	Vanellus miles		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Ambury Regional Park	Clownish birds. There seemed to be exactly one pair in each large field... of which there are millions in NZ.

366	Siberian Sand Plover	Anarhynchus mongolus		06/09/2015	Japan; Tokyo; Kasai Rinkai Koen	My brain called these "Mongolian plovers" when I saw them, and I still have no idea how. They're not called that in the book. Creamy. Ssp. mongolus. 	
367	Double-banded Plover	Anarhynchus bicinctus		29/12/2013	New Zealand; Lake Grassmere	Scoped at a pee break. 	
368	Wrybill	Anarhynchus frontalis		07/01/2014	New Zealand; Manawatu Estuary	What a bird! We were inundated with horrible weather while visiting Impy and Gimpy in Feilding, but had close encounters with 8 of these unbelievable little guys to cheer us up. Astounding.

370	Mountain Plover	Anarhynchus montanus		01/01/2016	USA; Arizona; Pinal County; Evergreen Turf	A stop between Paull and Lewis family mini-reunions. We enjoyed these succulent plovers while enjoying the company of a matching family of burrowing owls. 	
371	Red-capped Plover	Anarhynchus ruficapillus		22/07/2017	Australia; Queensland; Noah Beach	Solitary beach-walk thoughts about authenticity and suffering. Saw a croc, mudskippers and plovers. Mom read, kids drew in sand.

382	Bar-tailed Godwit	Limosa lapponica		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Ambury Regional Park	Many thousands throughout the trip. It's strange to think of such a weird bird being boringly common. 	
383	Black-tailed Godwit	Limosa limosa		12/09/2015	Japan; Tokyo; Kasai Rinkai Koen	ssp melanuroides. I pounded shorebirds for 13 hours and only had this to show for it. Still, they're cool birds, and they let me get very close.

393	Terek Sandpiper	Xenus cinereus		06/09/2015	Japan; Chiba; Yatsuhigata	I double-checked the book to make sure of my tattler ID, then swung the binos back up and... wait, something's not right. My tattler has an upturned beak? Nice switcheroo.

401	Wood Sandpiper	Tringa glareola		13/08/2019	Austria; Neusiedler See	I don't know how this one escaped me this long, except that I've always doubted my shorebird skills.

413	Broad-billed Sandpiper	Calidris falcinellus		06/09/2015	Japan; Chiba; Yatsuhigata	I'm very proud of this bird. Not just because it's my 800th, but because I had to use every birding skill I know to find and ID it.

417	Red-necked Stint	Calidris ruficollis		10/01/2014	New Zealand; Miranda Shorebird Center	We had some sun for what felt like the first time in years--we took advantage of it by taking the 2+km route to the shorebird blinds.

418	Sanderling	Calidris alba		10/11/2012	USA; Washington; Sandy Point	Half a dozen on rocky spit with two black-bellied plovers. Our fourth lifer on that 40 square feet of rocks.

523	Hutton's Shearwater	Puffinus huttoni		29/12/2013	New Zealand; Kaikoura Wharf	We spent a huge amount of energy trying to ID these from a long distance with the scope. Then we realized they were all flying to the main Hutton's shearwater colony. Much better views at Otago later.

625	Eastern Imperial Eagle	Aquila heliaca		15/08/2019	Hungary; Hortobagy NP	For an imperial eagle, they sure spend a lot of time hanging out with the peasants in the hay fields.

641	Eastern Marsh Harrier	Circus spilonotus		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Botanical Garden	Extremely fresh, bright plumage. Flyover in the thick smog. 	
642	Swamp Harrier	Circus approximans		27/12/2013	New Zealand; Near Hamilton	A fine enough bird, but as the only raptor we saw on NZ it was the target of our complete-absense-of-NZ-falcons frustration. We came to resent it. But really, it's a pretty bird. We love harriers...	
643	Hen Harrier	Circus cyaneus		20/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen		
644	Northern Harrier	Circus hudsonius		01/11/2004	USA; Arizona; Sulfur Springs Valley

648	Black Kite	Milvus migrans		14/11/2013	Japan; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture	During a very long early-morning random-walk I found a hillside full of old shrines and cemeteries. The kite hung over me while I wandered around.

653	White-bellied Sea Eagle	Icthyophaga leucogaster		09/07/2017	Australia; Queensland; Nerang	A flyover while on a highway; Bud was nonetheless in awe.

655	Black-collared Hawk	Busarellus nigricollis		17/06/2012	Costa Rica; Tortuguero National Park	Single adult sitting on branch over open canal. From boat; stunning!

658	Great Black Hawk	Buteogallus urubitinga		07/01/2024	Mexico; Yucatán; Rio Lagartos	The old RaptorPhoto-era us would have fainted encountering such a bold and magnificent black hawk at such a close range. But we had bobwhites to track down.

662	White-tailed Hawk	Geranoaetus albicaudatus		05/01/2024	Mexico; Campeche	On our honeymoon in Florida we thought we saw one ultra-high overhead but couldn’t confirm with photos.

679	Lesser Sooty Owl	Tyto multipunctata		23/07/2017	Australia; Queensland; Speewah Campsite	A fabulous send off gift from Oz, ever a gracious host. Ella burned through our remaining matches, I heard a falling bomb, ran to get Mom, with playback we got it to fly overhead in spotlights twice.

683	Australian Boobook	Ninox boobook		11/01/2014	New Zealand; Tiritiri Matangi Island	Two adults and one baby in a tree near the lighthouse. We heard them all throughout the previous night--and lots of kiwis too, which Daddy chased fruitlessly throughout the night--and felt blessed to see some finally. 	
684	Northern Boobook	Ninox japonica		03/07/2016	Japan; Nagano; Karuizawa; Wild Bird Forest	I walked randomly through a cedar plantation and found a couple gray wagtails. Suddenly a boobook called from overhead and vanished; later I got a brief glimpse of a flying bird that could only be this. BVD for sure. 	
685	Elf Owl	Micrathene whitneyi		10/06/2018	USA; Arizona; Aravaipa Canyon	Camping with the Fellins at Brandenburg and hiking down into the canyon like the good ol' days. We went spotlighting and finally got wonderful views of elfs after years of only catching flutterings. 	
686	Boreal Owl	Aegolius funereus		09/04/2023	Slovenia; Triglav NP	Finally!! After so many searches over so many nights in so many countries, we finally heard this fierce little fluffball calling from deep in a forest we had scoped out for having good habitat. It took 90 minutes of intense scanning to finally get a glimpse. Thrilling but unsatisfying; BVD!	
687	Northern Saw-whet Owl	Aegolius acadicus		18/02/2013	USA; Washington; Bridgeport State Park	We found 5 by scanning for whitewash under medium conifers. At one stupendous view, Bud said, "A baby owl!" Dad: "It's actually a daddy!" Bud: "It's a baby daddy owl!" It was a great time for everybody.	
688	Burrowing Owl	Athene cunicularia		01/01/2005	USA; Arizona; Madera Canyon		
689	Little Owl	Athene noctua		10/04/2020	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Siegaue	Quarantine-approved bike ride with the Dester. Found a nest box. Adorbs!	
690	Spotted Owlet	Athene brama		28/11/2023	India; Maharashtra; Mumbai; TIFR	Cutie-pies. I found them at night but went the next day to try to find their roost. A local birder/physicist asked me if I was looking for anything in particular. I asked about the owls and he pointed over his shoulder, and one was flapping around there about 3 meters away. Made me feel a bit foolish.	
691	Northern Hawk-Owl	Surnia ulula		05/07/2013	USA; Washington; Okanogan; Tiffany Meadows	We heard a report of a family of these nemesis owls from the previous weekend. As we searched the valley for them Manda spotted a perfect adult in a perfect perch in perfect light, just as we'd always imagined it. The kids all scoped it. 	
692	Eurasian Pygmy Owl	Glaucidium passerinum		31/03/2021	Sweden; Jönköpings län	A stripy puffball of fury. We found it in a swamp full of bizarre crepuscular blurps and bleeps and banshee long-eared owls and unknown spirits. 	
693	Northern Pygmy Owl	Glaucidium californicum		17/02/2013	USA; Washington; Okanogan Highlands	We worked extra-hard for a couple days to find a pygmy-owl in the excellent habitat here. The puffball on the conifer-top was unmistakable, after two days of obsessing over every tree-top twig. A glance from this little owl causes temporary loss of pulse.	
694	Colima Pygmy Owl	Glaucidium palmarum		07/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Rancho Primavera	We found great success mimicking these to draw in songbirds, and the one time it didn't work we got the actual villain itself. So much ferocity packed into such a little package. 	
695	Ferruginous Pygmy Owl	Glaucidium brasilianum		06/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Rancho Primavera	I woke to toots out our window and found a pair immediately. 	
696	Mountain Scops Owl	Otus spilocephalus		22/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan	These guys were trivial to attract with a whistle and far, far harder to spot. The red-and-white giant flying squirrels were far easier. 	
697	Pallid Scops Owl	Otus brucei		17/07/2022	Turkey; Sanliurfa; Biricik; Tea gardens	We tried twice to find them roosting in the daytime, and the servers at the tea gardens gave us chay and helped us search and wouldn't accept payment. But then at sunset a whole family of at least 6 burst out and started foraging all around us, even as close as 2m away. Amazing!	
698	Eurasian Scops Owl	Otus scops		15/07/2019	Spain; Catalunya; Dosquers	We stayed in an ancient village with the Talbots and were driven mad overnight by skeeters and scops-owls. 	
699	Long-eared Owl	Asio otus		12/11/2012	Canada; British Columbia; Boundary Bay	Single bird hidden in thick trees along open field.

702	Great Horned Owl	Bubo virginianus			USA; Arizona; Tucson		
703	Eurasian Eagle-Owl	Bubo bubo		07/04/2020	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Steinbruch Weilberg	A fantastic evening/night-time bike ride from home with the Dester. Saw a female at a nest, male came in a dropped off food and left. Miles named the dad Joe and Ella named the mom Mr. Pigeon. 	
704	Whiskered Screech Owl	Megascops trichopsis		19/08/2023	USA; Arizona; Santa Cruz County; Madera Canyon	By my normal rules, this would not be counted. Just a whisp of a flyby pale shadow in the dark, and a song. But the day must be memorialized: we watched a gorgeous gopher snake get murdered by a car, I stumbled on a great big black-tailed rattler on a trail I had just passed through, I backed off the road trying to chase the owl, we ran into some puma eyeshine in the dark, and we saw a chonky big Gila monster on the road. Not a Bonn day. 	
705	Pacific Screech Owl	Megascops cooperi		28/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Playa Organos	Manda and I took a night drive to try to find nocturnal critters and bioluminescence. We had our best-ever views of owls being owls--three screech-owls, all told. 	
706	Western Screech Owl	Megascops kennicottii		08/08/2006	USA; California; Rancho San Antonio Park	Two adults in a nesting cavity in a dead tree. Great photos.	
707	Middle American Screech Owl	Megascops guatemalae		31/12/2023	Mexico; Quintana Roo; Felipe Carrillo Puerto		
708	Crested Owl	Lophostrix cristata		11/01/2009	Costa Rica; La Selva Biological Station		
709	Tawny Owl	Strix aluco		09/06/2019	France; Champagne-Ardenne; Val de Vesle campsite	Calling from a perch right above our tents, after a long day in Paris leading up to the instantly legendary USA-Thailand match in Reims.	
710	Barred Owl	Strix varia		10/07/2002	USA; Washington; Anacortes		
711	Ural Owl	Strix uralensis		02/07/2016	Japan; Nagano; Karuizawa; Koya Backpackers	I told my hostel host that there were owls around, he said he didn't think so, so I went outside and there was a vaporous pale phantom on a telephone wire. Incredible daylight views on 7 Apr 2023 in Plitvice, Croatia. 	
712	Mottled Owl	Strix virgata		06/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Rancho Primavera	We went for a night-time walk and immediately were confronted by two spectacular spirits. 	
713	Black-and-white Owl	Strix nigrolineata		04/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	Flew right into the common room to eat bugs. Big, big bugs. 	
714	Golden-headed Quetzal	Pharomachrus auriceps		11/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	They've been stringing me along every day with their calls. Finally I called one in; magnificent!	
715	Resplendent Quetzal	Pharomachrus mocinno		13/01/2009	Costa Rica; Monteverde		
716	Slaty-tailed Trogon	Trogon massena		10/01/2009	Costa Rica; La Selva Biological Station		
717	Black-headed Trogon	Trogon melanocephalus		27/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Paquera	I JUST LOVE TROGONS. 	
718	Citreoline Trogon	Trogon citreolus		06/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Tehualmixtle	Down a severe dirt "road" in our rental, we found a little beach and spent a blinding midday hour playing in the waves. 	
719	Gartered Trogon	Trogon caligatus		10/01/2009	Costa Rica; La Selva Biological Station		
720	Elegant Trogon	Trogon elegans		30/04/2005	USA; Arizona; Garden Canyon	Spent a large part of a day following a male and female around in dense scrub oak for pictures. A stunning and lovely bird and a major birding highlight of our lives.	
721	Mountain Trogon	Trogon mexicanus		08/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Cerro La Bufa		
722	Collared Trogon	Trogon collaris		24/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	Orange-bellied. We're huge fans of trogons. 	
723	Masked Trogon	Trogon personatus		07/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros		
724	Eurasian Hoopoe	Upupa epops		25/07/2019	France; Occitanie; Camargue	A really wildly insufficient view, from the car, of one of my top targets in europe. 	
725	Indian Grey Hornbill	Ocyceros birostris		28/11/2023	India; Maharashtra; Mumbai; TIFR	Good god; I have seen dinosaurs.	
726	European Roller	Coracias garrulus		15/08/2019	Hungary; Hortobagy NP	Magnifico!

733	Common Kingfisher	Alcedo atthis		14/11/2013	Japan; Honshu; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture	I was bushwhacking near a river, trying to get a better view of a wagtail, when a pair of these Old World hummingbird-wannabes caught my attention. I've known all about them forever but they still took my breath away. 	
734	Azure Kingfisher	Ceyx azureus		12/07/2017	Australia; Queensland; Tandoon Botanic Gardens		
735	Amazon Kingfisher	Chloroceryle amazona		15/06/2012	Costa Rica; Tortuguero National Park.

740	Pied Kingfisher	Ceryle rudis		15/07/2022	Turkey; Biricik; North Gravel Pits	For the shortest moment I thought I was watching an osprey. Wild. 	
741	Russet-crowned Motmot	Momotus mexicanus		05/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Rancho Primavera	Not even being ubiquitous can make motmots boring. 	
742	Lesson's Motmot	Momotus lessonii		22/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	The Katzes have their own motmot pair that patrol their yard. 	
743	Rufous Motmot	Baryphthengus martii		13/06/2012	Costa Rica; La Selva Biological Station	Photos.

746	Arabian Green Bee-eater	Merops cyanophrys		27/12/2021	Jordan; Aqaba	Our welcome to Jordan was rude (scalped by taxi drivers, scope and tripod confiscated at customs), but this one glittering jewel instantly made up for it. 	
747	Blue-tailed Bee-eater	Merops philippinus		15/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Xuân Vân		
748	Rainbow Bee-eater	Merops ornatus		07/07/2017	Australia; New South Wales; Beaudesert	One of three cool new birds on one power line in town.

750	Rufous-tailed Jacamar	Galbula ruficauda		13/06/2012	Costa Rica; La Selva Biological Station	At dusk we found it foraging in the foliage from the bridge. It caught a dragonfly not 20 feet from us.	
751	White-necked Puffbird	Notharchus hyperrhynchus		31/12/2023	Mexico; Quintana Roo; Felipe Carrillo Puerto	Wow.	
752	White-whiskered Puffbird	Malacoptila panamensis		12/01/2009	Costa Rica; La Selva Biological Station	Male and female pair in plain view for a long time. One caught a strawberry poison dart frog and ate it to apparently no ill effects. Photos of the whole process.

754	Toucan Barbet	Semnornis ramphastinus		18/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	No bird has trolled me so hard. We've heard them all around us every day, only now did we FINALLY see one. Unbelievable.

756	Crimson-rumped Toucanet	Aulacorhynchus haematopygus		05/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	Buddy was enthralled by the scope views he got.

763	Taiwan Barbet	Psilopogon nuchalis		15/09/2019	Taiwan; Wulai	A perfect example of how scarcity (or the lack of it) can dictate one's appreciation for a bird. By all accounts, this should be a show-stopper, but it's hard to stop the show for something that hangs out on every street corner. 	
764	Coppersmith Barbet	Psilopogon haemacephalus		28/11/2023	India; Maharashtra; Mumbai; TIFR	Abundant, but so charming they never got old. The conceptual similarity of their polyrhythmic duets to toucan barbet fascinates me (their distant relationship suggests that it is somehow part of the conversantly evolved package). 	
765	Eurasian Wryneck	Jynx torquilla		27/04/2022	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Hangelarer Heide	A thrilling cosmic gift a day after complaining to two separate birding buddies that I would never see one. On my bike ride to work, no less!

776	Red-bellied Woodpecker	Melanerpes carolinus		07/08/2016	USA; Illinois; Fermilab	Here's a recipe for aesthetic success: take something solid and beloved (in this case a Gila woodpecker) and add a surprising twist (the red nape). 	
777	Williamson's Sapsucker	Sphyrapicus thyroideus		08/07/2013	USA; Washington; Okanogan Highlands; Havillah Sno Park	We pitched our tents in the Sno Park parking lot the previous night to be a home-base for looking for great gray owls.

781	Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker	Picoides tridactylus		10/04/2023	Slovenia; Triglav NP	Another nemesis! After dozens of hours searching in Croatia and Slovenia, we finally heard a distant drumming--exactly where the boreal owl was the night before. Expecting a similar runaround, we instead found ourselves basically eye-to-eye with an unconcerned male drumming away for our enjoyment. Fantastico!	
782	American Three-toed Woodpecker	Picoides dorsalis		06/07/2013	USA; Washington; Tiffany Meadows	We camped at Tiffany in the stupendous black burnt-out subalpine forest. We spent all morning exploring with the kids trying to find these woodpeckers and finally pinned down a pair long enough to get satisfying looks of the male. 	
783	Black-backed Woodpecker	Picoides arcticus		18/02/2013	USA; Washington; Central Ferry Canyon	We played calls and drumming sounds in a recent burn area. An adult male came down to his drum site and drummed for about 15 minutes. Fantastic views from close range.

788	Lesser Spotted Woodpecker	Dryobates minor		12/12/2018	Germany; Baden-Württemberg; Schlossgarten Karlsruhe 	In town for the Semitauonic Hackathon (an adjective/noun combo that would make the most exotic bird jealous). I've been taking early morning walks around the palace grounds. 	
789	Smoky-brown Woodpecker	Leuconotopicus fumigatus		17/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	Woke up pre-dawn, stalked birds for four hours, got a lifer only back at the bunkhouse. This is how it works.

809	Grey-headed Woodpecker	Picus canus		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Botanical Garden	A completely mis-named bird. "Holy-$^&#-a-giant-green woodpecker" is more appropriate. 	
810	Crested Caracara	Caracara plancus		29/12/2004	USA; Florida	Northern Crested Caracara (cheriway).	
811	Yellow-headed Caracara	Milvago chimachima		28/12/2016	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; San Rafael	Manda, Oliver and I went to go "grocery shopping", which included a "wrong turn" and subsequent car birding to San Rafael and back. Oliver spotted these first of these caracaras--standing on a cow.

821	Eleonora's Falcon	Falco eleonorae		05/07/2022	Greece; Crete; Agii Theodori	A mythological raptor from my childhood. To me they typified grace and power and I (partially) named my first child after them. Seeing them finally, wheeling beside an islet cliff, they were everything I imagined. 	
822	Aplomado Falcon	Falco femoralis		12/06/2011	Chile; Cerro Tololo	[no M] Pair perched then flying by cafeteria at CTIO.

834	New Zealand Kaka	Nestor meridionalis		28/12/2013	New Zealand; Zealandia	This is an exquisite bird. Later, at the Pureora Forest Park tower, we watched one forage in epiphytes from extreme close range.

838	Sulphur-crested Cockatoo	Cacatua galerita		02/07/2017	Australia; New South Wales; Sydney Botanical Gardens	A goofy end to a night that started with horror boilerplate: a mysterious girl in a pooh costume stood in our headlights upon arrival at our campsite.	
839	Monk Parakeet	Myiopsitta monachus		20/07/2019	Spain; Barcelona; Parc Guell	[NON-NATIVE] Our four days in Barcelona were full of Picasso, Gaudi, tapas, and Katzes.

867	Eastern Rosella	Platycercus eximius		30/12/2013	New Zealand; Warrington Reserve	[NON-NATIVE] We camped for free on this tidy little peninsula. Rosellas were totally not on our mind. It makes quite an impression in that context. 	
868	Yellow-crowned Parakeet	Cyanoramphus auriceps		10/01/2014	New Zealand; Pureora Forest Park	After a late night chasing kiwi calls in the native forests, Daddy woke extra early and saw a parakeet fly to a small tree in the deep fog.

Each of the kids ran the entire trail back, at this point superb hikers. The rifleman views were brief--the next day we saw them from feet away and they were Daddy's favorites.

895	Buff-fronted Foliage-gleaner	Dendroma rufa		08/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	It's absurd the extent to which birding in the tropics is feast-or-famine.

898	Spotted Barbtail	Premnoplex brunnescens		03/01/2017	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	I admit I had to rely on photo IDs for all woodcreeper-types. It was just way too wild out there when the mixed flocks came through. 	
899	Ruddy Treerunner	Margarornis rubiginosus		03/01/2017	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	Birding the cloud forest is feast-or-famine, when-it-rains-it-pours, etc. My first lovely treerunner view was interrupted by a quetzal landing not far away. Talk about upstaging.

1094	Whitehead	Mohoua albicilla		06/01/2014	New Zealand; Totara Reserve	We went to Totara with Grammy and Grampy for some water play and a hike. The first of many whiteheads met us on a muddy walk.

1118	Cozumel Vireo	Vireo bairdi		29/12/2023	Mexico; Quintana Roo; Cozumel	I don’t understand the biogeography of Cozumel. It seems impossible that such a distinct species could evolve so close to the mainland.

1240	Eurasian Penduline Tit	Remiz pendulinus		04/04/2023	Croatia; PP Vransko jezero	Braving the diminished bora winds for a brisk walk on the boardwalk. Three delightful little sprites dashed in, took our breaths away, and dashed out in 15 seconds.

1242	Bearded Reedling	Panurus biarmicus		20/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen	On a patented birdrun with Dester, we had outstanding views. The bird equivalent of a well-tanned male stripper wearing nothing but a bowtie. 	
1243	Desert Lark	Ammomanes deserti		29/12/2021	Jordan; Wadi Rum	A boring-seeming bird that in-person seems just so much of the place. Bold, elegant, and appropriate.

1245	Eurasian Skylark	Alauda arvensis		29/12/2013	New Zealand; Kaikoura.	[NON-NATIVE]. Yes, our first skylark was in New Zealand. Ssp. Japonica KEK 06.18.14.

1250	Calandra Lark	Melanocorypha calandra		01/07/2023	Romania;  Constanța; Steppes near Vadu	This and short-toed were painful nemeses from previous trips. We took our pathetic little rental car out on rugged farm roads and, just at the point of giving up, saw the two together above a corn field. 	
1251	Dupont's Lark	Chersophilus duponti		02/08/2020	Spain; Aragon; Belchite steppes	Sorry to repeat myself, but: we arrived in the hot late-morning and heard and saw literally nothing at all. Then, suddenly, a single bird flew past while calling and landed nearby. The only bird we saw just happened to be the superstar of the region.

1276	Dusky Crag Martin	Ptyonoprogne concolor		03/12/2023	India; Maharashtra; Raigad; Matheran	I made a doggo pal who followed me for hours. But it turns out her friendship was but a ruse; at the end, she expected me to buy her a biscuit from the snack stand. She was in cahoots with the snack vendor the whole time. I feel used and betrayed.

1287	Japanese Bush Warbler	Horornis diphone		14/11/2013	Japan; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture	My favorite moment of the trip: in the middle of a 5-hour wander in the countryside I ran into a hill ringed with shrines and cemeteries. Under an ancient tree I found a small crumbling cemetery and one bush warbler in a sacred-feeling grove of dwarf bamb	
1288	Yellow-bellied Bush Warbler	Horornis acanthizoides		22/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan		
1289	Cetti's Warbler	Cettia cetti		18/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen	Sounds like the snapping of an over-taut cable.

1292	American Bushtit	Psaltriparus minimus			USA; California		
1293	Long-tailed Tit	Aegithalos caudatus		12/11/2013	Japan; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture; KEK	A very cold and very very early morning walk around the accelerator ring at KEK yielded few birds--but when I pished at a copse I was suddenly mobbed by a small group of these elegant birds. 	
1294	Silver-throated Bushtit	Aegithalos glaucogularis		08/11/2017	China; Beijing; Yuyuantan Park	Originally marked them as long-tailed tits.

1297	Western Bonelli's Warbler	Phylloscopus bonelli		21/07/2020	Spain; Extremadura; Puerto de Piornal	We escaped the heat by driving up to an anonymous point in the mountains and randomly wandering around for the day. We didn't see many birds, but the setting was achingly real. 	
1298	Hume's Leaf Warbler	Phylloscopus humei		03/12/2023	India; Maharashtra; Raigad; Matheran	The chants that the porters make as they push a laden cart up a mountain are deeply affecting and mesmerizing. I’ve never heard anything like it; primally resonant, yet somehow avant garde. 	
1299	Yellow-browed Warbler	Phylloscopus inornatus		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Botanical Garden	Quite ubiquitous. 	
1300	Pallas's Leaf Warbler	Phylloscopus proregulus		25/04/2013	China; Beijing; International Sculpture Park	Flitting around deep in the trees between thousands of singing, dancing, playing, practicing, sporting, vibrant people. 	
1301	Tytler's Leaf Warbler	Phylloscopus tytleri		04/12/2023	India; Maharashtra; Raigad; Matheran	My carefully planned mega-day — 4 hours of owling, 7 hours of intensive day birding starting at dawn, numerous endemic targets — would have been entirely fruitless if not for this chiffchaffish little fellow. A new, true doggo pal stayed with me from 3am until 8. 	
1302	Willow Warbler	Phylloscopus trochilus		25/08/2017	Russia; Moscow; Moscow State University	After a late night drifting on the Moskva River and enjoying some spectacular local traditional music, it was a fairly late morning before talks. Still: birds. 	
1303	Common Chiffchaff	Phylloscopus collybita		24/08/2017	Russia; Moscow; Moscow State University	In town for 18th Lomonosov Conference. A hobby called from the main tower on campus. 	
1304	Iberian Chiffchaff	Phylloscopus ibericus		24/07/2020	Portugal; Algarve; Salema	We ran a hot, hilly route to find African reed warbler, but saw and heard nothing at all.

1305	Eastern Crowned Warbler	Phylloscopus coronatus		05/09/2015	Japan; Ibaraki; Tsukuba-san	A refreshing crystalline bird on an ultrasmuggy day. Bike/hike to Tsukuba-san from KEK.

1308	Great Reed Warbler	Acrocephalus arundinaceus		17/05/2012	Italy; Valli di Comacchio	Abundant along reed stands on western edge of the Valli.	
1309	Oriental Reed Warbler	Acrocephalus orientalis		28/06/2015	Japan; Ibaraki; Ukishima Marsh	I biked 50km to see marsh grassbird, saw this and thought it was that, and then biked back. 	
1310	Black-browed Reed Warbler	Acrocephalus bistrigiceps		26/05/2016	Japan; Chiba; Sasagawa	Somehow I didn't realize this bird existed, until I heard something out of place among all the grassbirds, cisticolas, oriental reed-warblers, and uguishu. On the train back to Narita, we stopped on the tracks and blocked a group of hilarious kids. 	
1311	Moustached Warbler	Acrocephalus melanopogon		01/08/2020	Spain; Valencia; Torreblanca	A brief drive-by birding stop. It was deathly quiet, yet somehow we got fantastic views of this distinctive warbler. 	
1312	Sedge Warbler	Acrocephalus schoenobaenus		18/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen		
1313	Paddyfield Warbler	Acrocephalus agricola		29/06/2023	Romania;  Constanța; Vadu	I have a soft spot for little drab things with big, ambitious songs. This guy was just doing such a good job, it was hard not to give him a cheer. 	
1314	Blyth's Reed Warbler	Acrocephalus dumetorum		29/11/2023	India; Maharashtra; Mumbai; TIFR	The important question: like blithe, or like… blith? Rhymes with smith? I really want there to be an ‘e’ there. 	
1315	Common Reed Warbler	Acrocephalus scirpaceus		09/06/2019	France; Champagne-Ardenne; Val de Vesle campsite		
1316	Marsh Warbler	Acrocephalus palustris		11/05/2019	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Siegaue		
1317	Eastern Olivaceous Warbler	Iduna pallida		30/06/2022	Greece; Athens; The Acropolis	A classic Talbot-Lewis trip, full of food and friends and very old stuff. 	
1318	Western Olivaceous Warbler	Iduna opaca		25/07/2020	Spain; Andalucia; Dehesa de Abajo	We decided to skip a night near Seville and instead drive further south while making a number of targeted bird stops. 	
1319	Upcher's Warbler	Hippolais languida		16/07/2022	Turkey; Sanliurfa; Biricik; Wadi		
1320	Olive-tree Warbler	Hippolais olivetorum		16/07/2022	Turkey; Sanliurfa; Halfeti	Poolside birding ftw.

1322	Icterine Warbler	Hippolais icterina		29/05/2020	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Hangelarer Heide	Rode Ella to school, met Dester on her run, saw this between swollen tears and sneezes. Allergy season sucks. 	
1323	Marsh Grassbird	Helopsaltes pryeri		26/05/2016	Japan; Chiba; Sasagawa	After my tragicomic efforts to see this bird a year ago, I was not prepared to find myself in a war-zone surrounded by dozens of frantically displaying kamikazee birds. Worth the elaborate transportation to get there. 	
1324	River Warbler	Locustella fluviatilis		29/05/2021	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Rieselfelder Munster	What a noisy racket this thing makes. We could hear it from inside the car, but it took a good 45 minutes to get a decent view. 	
1325	Savi's Warbler	Locustella luscinioides		20/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen	Sounds like a rickety old air conditioner. 	
1326	Common Grasshopper Warbler	Locustella naevia		06/05/2019	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Siegaue	He was nice enough to grant me a little lookie-loo. 	
1327	Zitting Cisticola	Cisticola juncidis		28/06/2015	Japan; Ibaraki; Ukishima Marsh	I don't know why (probably the name), but this has been one of the most prominent birds on my unseen list--and they're surprisingly attractive in person.

1329	Grey-breasted Prinia	Prinia hodgsonii		18/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Vũng Chua

1337	Eurasian Blackcap	Sylvia atricapilla		09/09/2018	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Tulpenweg Yard	Sitting at the 2nd floor window, working on the computer and looking out over our lovely new back yard. A blackcap visited to eat blackberries and look sharp.

1339	Barred Warbler	Curruca nisoria		07/07/2023	Czechia;  Benáteckým	This was one of the toughest birds we've ever chased. Not rare at this spot, but ninja-like.
	
1340	Lesser Whitethroat	Curruca curruca		06/05/2019	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Siegaue	Pre-work expedition during my mini-Big Month (one checklist a day for May). 	
1341	Eastern Orphean Warbler	Curruca crassirostris		11/07/2022	Turkey; Antalya; Güzelsu	After splitting with the Talbots, we flew then drove to this tiny, charming, anonymous village and chilled for a few days. 	
1342	Menetries's Warbler	Curruca mystacea		16/07/2022	Turkey; Sanliurfa; Biricik; Wadi	We had a close encounter with a pair of Arabian foxes vigorously digging in the dust. Every single plant in the wadi wanted to punish us for our intrusion. 	
1343	Sardinian Warbler	Curruca melanocephala		17/07/2019	Spain; Catalunya; Dosquers	This trip was about architecture and Talbots, not birds. Still slipped a few in though. 	
1344	Western Subalpine Warbler	Curruca iberiae		12/10/2020	Germany; Schleswig-Holstein; Helgoland	We took a day trip to Helgoland with just Buddy at the absolute peak of migration. I've never seen so many birders in one spot. After striking out over and over again on subalpine warblers in Spain this summer, we never dreamed we'd have a chance in DE!	
1345	Eastern Subalpine Warbler	Curruca cantillans		03/04/2023	Croatia; Zadar County	On an intense bora wind day, we played hide and seek over the ruins of a 12th century church while Grammy and Grampy meditated in the car and  a fabulous warbler displayed in the thornscrub. 	
1346	Common Whitethroat	Curruca communis		16/04/2019	The Netherlands; Gelderland; Wageningse Bovenpolder	We decided to explore Wageningen just for kicks and saw this incidentally. 	
1347	Spectacled Warbler	Curruca conspicillata		01/08/2020	Spain; Valencia	Before descending into the steppes we pulled over in the mountains and chilled for an hour or two on a very quiet farm road with views over a valley that I imagined was draped in deep history. Stop me if you've heard this before: there were no birds whatsoever, until finally we saw the one we wanted. 	
1348	Dartford Warbler	Curruca undata		16/07/2020	Spain; Basque Country; Innuritza biotopa	A walk from our surfing campground in the morning. Oskorri played in my head and the young warblers noisily begged for food in the coastal heath. 	
1349	Taiwan Fulvetta	Fulvetta formosana		22/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan		
1350	Wrentit	Chamaea fasciata		09/04/2012	USA; Califonria; San Francisco Baylands Preserve		
1351	Vinous-throated Parrotbill	Suthora webbiana		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Botanical Garden	I slowly examined a stand of reeds for this lovely little bird and suddenly found 5 all at once. I sat at the edge of the reeds and watched them as they foraged inside--the short depth of field of my binoculars helped immensely. 	
1352	Taiwan Yuhina	Yuhina brunneiceps		21/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan		
1353	Swinhoe's White-eye	Zosterops simplex		15/09/2019	Taiwan; Wulai

1356	Chestnut-capped Babbler	Timalia pileata		16/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Xuân Vân	Charismatic, striking, and entirely of-the-place. 	
1357	Pin-striped Tit-Babbler	Mixornis gularis		18/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Vũng Chua	Lively little fellows. 	
1358	Rufous-capped Babbler	Cyanoderma ruficeps		19/09/2019	Taiwan; Hemeishan trail	Another ultra-early morning. 	
1359	Taiwan Scimitar Babbler	Pomatorhinus musicus		16/09/2019	Taiwan; Wulai	Hours and hours of walking without anything, then an explosion of new life in a moment. This mixed flock included a troop of macaques who shook branches at me. 	
1360	Indian Scimitar Babbler	Pomatorhinus horsfieldii		02/12/2023	India; Maharashtra; Mumbai; Sanjay Gandhi NP	I pulled my speaker out of my bag for the first time and tested it by playing a random call: scimitar-babbler. Immediately a real-world pair responded. Serendipitous and phenomenal, and my only playback success of the trip. 	
1361	Large Scimitar Babbler	Erythrogenys hypoleucos		18/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Vũng Chua	Skulking and silent, I lucked into seeing them while resting during a tough climb. The best bird of the trip, and not soon forgotten. 	
1362	Dusky Fulvetta	Schoeniparus brunneus		16/09/2019	Taiwan; Wulai	The skulkiest skulking skulker that ever skulked.

1364	Buff-breasted Babbler	Pellorneum tickelli		19/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Xuân Vân		
1365	Abbott's Babbler	Malacocincla abbotti		18/08/2022	Vietnam; Binh Dinh; Quy Nhon; Núi Vũng Chua	They sound how Vietnam's air feels. 	
1366	Brown-cheeked Fulvetta	Alcippe poioicephala		03/12/2023	India; Maharashtra; Raigad; Matheran	They aren’t much to look at, sure, but their name is “fulvetta”, which is Italian for “little fulsome vulva.” So that’s a neat fact. 	
1367	Grey-cheeked Fulvetta	Alcippe morrisonia		16/09/2019	Taiwan; Wulai		
1368	White-whiskered Laughingthrush	Trochalopteron morrisonianum		22/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan		
1369	White-eared Sibia	Heterophasia auricularis		21/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan	A bit heavy on the makeup if you ask me.

1400	Eurasian Wren	Troglodytes troglodytes		16/01/2016	Japan; Ibaraki; Tsukuba-san	After the accentor, I was super keyed-in to any rustling leaves. This little guy was doing his best accentor impression. 	
1401	Pacific Wren	Troglodytes pacificus		30/06/2012	USA; California; Skyline-to-the-sea trail	Finally saw one on one-day walk through the trail after months of hearing calls but seeing nothing. A bit of a nemesis bird, finally exposed.

1403	Ochraceous Wren	Troglodytes ochraceus		03/01/2017	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	I think I saw many of these, but the first definitive ones were a pair flying by and vocalizing.

1417	Krüper's Nuthatch	Sitta krueperi		11/07/2022	Turkey; Antalya; Güzelsu	We never actually really slept in Güzelsu: for the first time ever, we paid a guide to find a bird for us: Brown Fish Owl. He had a 100% success rate for finding the bird, but after one entire night of active hunting we saw nothing. So he offered to do it again the next night for nearly free. Dusk to dawn hunting, no luck. So it goes. 	
1418	Red-breasted Nuthatch	Sitta canadensis		09/09/2012	USA; Washington; Pacific Crest Trail near Tatie Peak	Beautiful views at close range of a stunning adult. After hearing these hundreds of times we were well due for a perfect sighting.  	
1419	Chinese Nuthatch	Sitta villosa		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Botanical Garden	I slowly explored the conifers until I heard a call that only a nuthatch can make. I found two in a tree right next to the conservatory.

1424	Eurasian Treecreeper	Certhia familiaris		29/08/2017	Russia; Moscow; Vorobiev Gory	Rain, lost binos, late nights and McGregor/Mayweather had ruined most of my morning birding plans. However, on the day of my talk at Lomonosov '17 I woke at 4:45 and walked. A lovely morning. 	
1425	Brown Creeper	Certhia americana					
1426	Short-toed Treecreeper	Certhia brachydactyla		29/01/2019	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Botanischer Garten Bonn	OK, so I've seen these a ton but have been stubbornly holding out due to a conviction that there's no such thing as short-toed treecreepers.

1436	Crissal Thrasher	Toxostoma crissale		18/06/2018	USA; Arizona; Portal; Big Thicket	Literally at Crissal Rd. Really unsatisfying views of what amounted to a long tail and a rusty butt. 	
1437	LeConte's Thrasher	Toxostoma lecontei		29/09/2023	USA; Arizona; Maricopa; Thrasher Spot	We shed so much sweat for this bird. A month after a scorching search before Oppenheimer IMAX, we tried again ultra-early and finally managed a stupendous view before it vanished again forever. 	
1438	Blue Mockingbird	Melanotis caerulescens		05/07/2021	Mexico; Jalisco; Rancho Primavera	A bird without reference. It didn't feel remotely familiar.

1454	Townsend's Solitaire	Myadestes townsendi		16/02/2013	USA; Washington; Conconully	This pretty little solitaire was good compensation for getting stuck halfway up a snowy one-lane road with sheer drop, completely embedded with a broken chain. 	
1455	Omao	Myadestes obscurus		22/03/2016	USA; Hawai`i; Big Island; Pu`u O`o Trail	A really rackety bird. 	
1456	Black-faced Solitaire	Myadestes melanops		03/01/2017	Costa Rica; Puntarenas; Monteverde	I just love this bird. I got the day to myself and spent 7 hours on foot from la casa de Katza up to the cloud forest reserve and had a spendifferous time there.

1465	Veery	Catharus fuscescens		05/07/2013	USA; Washington; Methow Valley	On a slow, exploratory hike with the kids. We heard lots but barely got decent views--much more satisfying views a couple days later.

1510	Collared Flycatcher	Ficedula albicollis		05/07/2023	Romania;  Transfagarasan foothills	Good god, this was hard. Braving the abundant brown bears, we spent hours focused on one shy and silent female, trying to nail down her ID. BVD.

1516	Daurian Redstart	Phoenicurus auroreus		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Botanical Garden	Redstarts are always a treat. 	
1517	Common Rock Thrush	Monticola saxatilis		18/07/2019	Spain; Cadi-Moixero NP	So delectable. 	
1518	Blue Rock Thrush	Monticola solitarius		06/09/2015	Japan; Tokyo; Kasai Rinkai Koen	On the way to meet Michael at Tokyo Station, I dropped by for a very brief visit and unexpectedly had an encounter with this bird, which lead me directly to some Mongolian plovers.

1520	European Stonechat	Saxicola rubicola		09/03/2019	Germany; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Wahner Heide	The winter was so long, this bird brought Spring with it. 	
1521	Northern Wheatear	Oenanthe oenanthe		20/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen	It would be hard to beat these birdrunning conditions. 	
1522	Isabelline Wheatear	Oenanthe isabellina		13/07/2022	Turkey; Aladaglar	Manda ran (marathon training) while I birded the early morning. It was all about magnificent views and angry dogs. 	
1523	Hooded Wheatear	Oenanthe monacha		27/12/2021	Jordan; Aqaba	Pulled off the road just to take a breath and this handsome guy was waiting for us. 	
1524	Desert Wheatear	Oenanthe deserti		30/12/2021	Jordan; Wadi Rum	A drive-by sighting on a wildly overpriced "jeep" tour.	
1525	Western Black-eared Wheatear	Oenanthe hispanica		29/07/2020	Spain; Andalucia; Yunquera	Two common themes of this trip: (1) COVID-closed destinations [in this case, our campground] and (2) socially distanced birds. 	
1526	Pied Wheatear	Oenanthe pleschanka		30/06/2023	Bulgaria; Bolata Bay	We drove down the Bulgarian coast for the day. While Bud swam in the warm water of this little rocky baylet, these handsome fellows were frolicking on the surrounding cliffs.

1530	Mourning Wheatear	Oenanthe lugens		29/12/2021	Jordan; Between Aqaba and Wadi Rum	In many places these were the only birds at all, but they never once got boring. They take good care of themselves.

1536	White-capped Dipper	Cinclus leucocephalus		21/07/2018	Ecuador; Imbabura; Reserva Los Cedros	Two families dipping in the water hole together (us and the birds, in case you didn't catch that).	
1537	Purple-rumped Sunbird	Leptocoma zeylonica		28/11/2023	India; Maharashtra; Mumbai; TIFR	We had an exquisite and almost jazz-like concert from Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan on sitar, with a young tabla player. I understood more, musically, than I expected, but several times the Indian audience gasped in unison at flourishes that seemed unremarkable to me, so there is something more there that I don’t perceive. It has never been more plain that music is about setting up, defying (or, in this case, playfully toying with), then satisfying expectations. 	
1538	Crimson-backed Sunbird	Leptocoma minima		03/12/2023	India; Maharashtra; Raigad; Matheran	Sings like a Melodious Warbler, moves and shines like a hummingbird. Charming.

1545	Rock Sparrow	Petronia petronia		02/08/2020	Spain; Aragon; Tornos	We tried so hard for sandgrouse, over and over. The miss is painful, but such is birding; overall our luck on this trip was fantastic. We repeatedly saw top targets in conditions that were very challenging. Although we face mandatory COVID testing upon returning (Aragon now being a hotspot), it was a blessed trip. 	
1546	White-winged Snowfinch	Montifringilla nivalis		13/07/2020	France; Hautes-Pyrénées; Col du Tourmalet	Camping in the French Pyrenees waiting for Spain to open up to EU visitors. We wandered around for a bit in the fog, but saw our bird while PB&J-ing at the car.

1568	Radde's Accentor	Prunella ocularis		13/07/2022	Turkey; Aladaglar; su yalagi	I don't know how our rental car made it up here, but we went to scout out a snowcock spot and stayed for the views and the sheepdogs who looked indistinguishable from the sheep they were cuddling with. 	
1569	Dunnock	Prunella modularis		28/12/2013	New Zealand; Zealandia.	[NON-NATIVE] Hanging out with kakas. Huh. 25 January 2019 seen with Dester on bike ride in the Siegaue near Bonn. 	
1570	Japanese Accentor	Prunella rubida		16/01/2016	Japan; Ibaraki; Tsukuba-san	Another bike/hike from KEK. I heard the faintest rustling from the middle of a dwarf bamboo thicket, raised my binos and found this handsome fellow playing in the leaves. 	
1571	Western Yellow Wagtail	Motacilla flava		18/04/2019	The Netherlands; Flevoland; Oostvaardersplassen		
1572	Grey Wagtail	Motacilla cinerea		14/11/2013	Japan; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture; KEK	A single bird sitting on a beer can on a gravel bar in a winding river. Got distracted by some kingfishers.

1597	Taiwan Rosefinch	Carpodacus formosanus		22/09/2019	Taiwan; Dasyueshan	I spent pretty much all day hiking in the mist at 2600m. I'm not being dramatic when I say that it was one of the best days of my life. A steady stream of charismatic, aesthetically advanced, and flirtatious birds.	
1598	Sinai Rosefinch	Carpodacus synoicus		29/12/2021	Jordan; Wadi Rum	Just fabulous. 	
1599	Maui Alauahio	Paroreomyza montana		23/12/2015	USA; Hawaii; Maui; Hosmer Grove	Lovely little warbling things above our tent before and after a chilly by wonderful night on the flank of Haleakala after the Talbots flew home. 	
1600	Palila	Loxioides bailleui		26/03/2016	USA; Hawai`i; Big Island; Pu`u La`au	We tried for these fantastic birds several days earlier, but struck out--either due to the birds' scarcity or Ally's monumental screeching.

1616	Lesser Redpoll	Acanthis cabaret		22/04/2022	United Kingdom; England; Hadrian's Wall Campsite	We spent all morning trying to find redpolls, then only saw them once we started breaking camp. So it goes.

1643	Godlewski's Bunting	Emberiza godlewskii		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Ridge above Botanical Garden	On paper they just look like drab sparrows. But in person they are strangely elegant. 	
1644	Meadow Bunting	Emberiza cioides		11/11/2013	Japan; Honshu; Ibaraki Prefecture; KEK	One of the most conspicuous birds in the bushes and weeds along the accelerator.

1646	Cirl Bunting	Emberiza cirlus		24/07/2019	France; Occitanie; Argelliers	The church just out our window rings bells 7+7+3+3+3+44 times at 7am. I hear it as "time to find some birds". 	
1647	Striolated Bunting	Emberiza striolata		01/01/2022	Jordan; Dead Sea shore	We drove to the Dead Sea to go swimming, and these were waiting at a roadside snack break. 	
1648	Little Bunting	Emberiza pusilla		23/04/2013	China; Beijing; Ridge above Botanical Garden	Probably the only time all day I saw a bird without movement or calls keying me to its presence first.

1649	Rustic Bunting	Emberiza rustica		15/01/2016	Japan; Ibaraki; KEK	I always thought these were female meadow buntings until I took a closer look.
