2021 My Year in Birds
2021 was a low but not super low year thanks to quarantine. I did make two trips to New Orleans and one to Arizona. Plus there were some really good and one spectacular bird in Brooklyn this year. Also worth noting that I set a new personal best for a Brooklyn year with 216 species. I finished the year with 311 species total and 18-19 life birds including a spectacular surprise of Gray-breasted Martin on my home patch at Prospect Park.
This is the first time the martin has been seen in the United States in over a hundred years, and the previous record is from Texas. How and why it came to Brooklyn is a mystery. Possibly it got caught in a storm system.
Besides the martin, I added 17 birds to my life list including:
- Henslow’s Sparrow, Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn
- American Golden-Plover, Floyd Bennett Field
- White-eared Hummingbird, Miller Canyon
- Red-faced Warbler, Miller Canyon
- Greater Pewee, Miller Canyon
- Varied Bunting, Box Canyon
- Cassin’s Sparrow, Las Cienegas NCA
- Lucifer Hummingbird, Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary
- Mexican Jay, Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary
- Rivoli’s Hummingbird, Ramsey Canyon Inn
- Arizona Woodpecker, Ramsey Canyon Inn
- Yellow-eyed Junco, Ramsey Canyon Inn
- Botteri’s Sparrow, San Pedro RNCA–Hereford Bridge
- Violet-crowned Hummingbird, Paton Center for Hummingbirds
- Bridled Titmouse, Lower Carr Canyon Picnic Area
- Broad-billed Hummingbird, Agua Caliente Park, Tucson
- Lucy’s Warbler, Agua Caliente Park, Tucson
- Gila Woodpecker, Saguaro NP–Broadway trailhead
- Rufous-winged Sparrow, Saguaro NP–Broadway trailhead
I also added an Eastern Whip-poor-will in Prospect Park for #19. In fact, this is a a species I heard frequently as a child in Alabama but had never officially counted on my life list.
