Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus ) Same bird: 136 Langnæbbet Sneppeklire ~ Costurero Pico Largo ~ Större Beckasinsnäppa 2023-10-04 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark First calendar year. Midtertårnet. Afternoon. Disappeared and came back a few days. Poorer views today with strong wind, why less details were seen, but I expect it to be the same as 5321. And maybe it is just my Danish Kæphest in English that insists on focusing on the back shape. From this selection of postures I get the feeling that the back is indeed more often curved with the apex near the middle of the back compared to the straighter line with the apex near the neck on Short-billed. Not as obvious as it can bee seen, I admit, but still enough to raise a suspicion of it being a long-billed. Rare |

Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus ) Same bird: 136 Langnæbbet Sneppeklire ~ Costurero Pico Largo ~ Större Beckasinsnäppa 2023-09-24 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark First calendar year. Midtertårnet. Afternoon. Discovered yesterday by Anders Odd Wulff Nielsen. Present today and most likely gone during the night. This, because it was only reported by Thyge Enevoldsen the following day - among many birders. But he only saw it briefly behind the island in front of the tower. It didn't sound too convincing when he described the observation to me, and the fact that he hasn't added the record to dofbasen support my feeling. I saw the bird in the morning from the north tower and much closer. Here it was easier to see the buffy uniformly neat plumage of a young bird and it was obvious that the tertials were plain colored without the tiger streaks of SBDO. It was also obvious that the bird did not show the rounded back that I have been focusing on as a species character for LBDO. This of course only confirms with certainty that LBDO can show both back profiles - rounded and straight line, and not that SBDO can show a rounded back too. Most dowitchers that show up in Europe are in fact Long-billed. In N America they both migrate the same distance south through the continent why I would have expected an equal amount of SBDO showing up too. If not for the fact that LBDO also breeds in E Siberia and my guess is that the birds that come here follow many of the other arctic waders of the Siberian area and thus are coming from the east rather than the west. A new DK species for me. Rare |

Pink-footed Goose (Anser brachyrhynchus ) Same bird: 115 Kortnæbbet Gås ~ Ganso Piquicorto ~ Spetsbergsgås 2023-03-17 Frederiksberg Have, Denmark Adult. A single bird has been present for some time. Being a city park, a suspicious origin is the most likely. However, it is a fact that the species has started to migrate through the eastern part of Denmark to a larger extend during recent years. The probable logic behind this is, that the species has started to breed on the arctic Russian island Noveja Zemlja, a thousand kilometers east of the Svalbard population. The bird looks healthy and apparently has been seen elsewhere in Copenhagen, why its ability to fly and move is good, and in all respects the bird looks like a classic representative of the species. |

Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus ) Same bird: 32 Hættemåge ~ Gaviota Encapuchada ~ Skrattmås 2022-12-13 Dragør Havn, Denmark Adult. Banded with black text on white on right leg: 3LZ. Metal band on left leg. Now with the cold the birds are highly sensitive to any movements indicating that food is about to be brought out. I found this out the other day when I took out a bread snack to eat myself. Instantly 50 gulls were surrounding me, and when testing them, they were happy to feed right from my hand. And their audacity kept growing, trying to snatch the remaining part of the bread out of my other hand and one even landed on my head to be well within reach of the next opportunity. Sneaky creatures! OBS:The photo set loads slowly because of the video. Banded Black-headed Gull |

Common Pochard x Ferruginous Duck (hybrid) (Aythya ferina x nyroca ) Same bird: 140 Taffeland x Hvidøjet And (hybrid) ~ Porrón Europeo x Porrón Pardo (híbrido) ~ Brunand x Vitögd Dykand (hybrid) 2022-11-15 Søerne (København), Denmark Adult. ♂. Skt Jørgens sø N. One of the more common aythya hybrids. On this bird the head and breast mostly resemble the ferruginous duck apart from the orange iris and a rather broad dark band at the tip of the bill, but not as broad as on the pure pochard. From most angles the peaked top of the head is visible; also a ferruginous trait. The underwing is difficult to judge from these photos but it looks intermediate between the two species as well, with subdued white and palish trail edge. The gray flanks and belly plus the limited white lower rump are traces indicating that the pochard is involved. As does the rather long sloping bill. Ferruginous Duck is a more compact bird than Common Pochard which is also the case with this bird compared to the pure pochards around it. A female type bird apparently was present too, which I couldn't find. Will try another day when there is more light on the birds and they perhaps then will be more active. This bird was resting and hiding its bill in the plumage for almost an hour before it became fully visible. OBS:The photo set loads slowly because of the video. Hybrid |

Eurasian Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus ) Same bird: 72 Grønbenet Rørhøne ~ Gallineta Común ~ Rörhöna 2022-11-23 Christianshavns vold og voldgrav, Denmark Adult. Ravelinen. I'm not sure if three different birds are involved here, because the two in the video show a strong bill color, whereas the bird in photo 4 shows a bird with a more subdued bill. |

Eurasian Moorhen x Eurasian Coot (hybrid) (Gallinula chloropus x Fulica atra (hybrid) ) Same bird: 66 Grønbenet Rørhøne x Blishøne ~ Gallineta Común x Gallereta Común ~ Rörhöna x Sothöna 2022-11-23 Christianshavns vold og voldgrav, Denmark Adult. Ravelinen. The bird was still present today, showing the same clear features indicating a hybrid. Today I was able to compare it with a coot, and it looked intermediate in size between the coot and the pure moorhens. The overall behavior was more like that of the also present moorhens, sticking to the edge of the water, foraging in between stones and in grassy parts. It acted confident and there were never signs of conflicts with other birds, as can often be seen when someone looks different. OBS: The photo set loads slowly because of the videos. Rare, Hybrid |

Violet-crowned Hummingbird (Ramosomyia violiceps ellioti) Violetkronet Snebryst ~ Colibrí Corona Violeta ~ Violettkronad Smaragd 2018-08-10 La Condesa (mi casa en Cd Guzmán), Mexico Adult. The only bird of the species which has found my feeder, but apparently it likes it, because it has been coming daily throughout the last month. Also see 2740-41 of the same bird. Coto La Condesa |

Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris ?) Mexicansk Brednæbskolibri ~ Colibrí Pico Ancho ~ Brednäbbad Smaragd 2018-09-05 La Condesa (mi casa en Cd Guzmán), Mexico Adult male. Have seen 5 males together, but no females, and the first and only other hummer to visit was and still is a Violet-crowned Hummingbird. See 2732, which is the same or one of the other 4 males. The area is isolated from natural habitat in general, making it harder to attract birds. Of course it is impossible to see details in this poor video, but you can still perceive that the tail moves a lot, like a large paint brush, and this behavior apparently is typical for the species, and is very different from the way the Violet-crowned moves its tail, making this an id feature even when you can't see the birds other than in silhouette Coto La Condesa |

Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus monsoni) Kragegrackel ~ Zanate Mayor ~ Mexikansk Båtstjärt 2017-10-22 Bosque Los Colomos (Guadalajara), Mexico Adult male. The subspecies only based on the locality.This bird is sick. It's got what looks like a tumor on the side of the neck. It was obvious that something was wrong with it also before I got my binoculars on it. It was almost crawling over the grass and it was foraging in the sun, which they never do if they can avoid it. This it probably did to be warmed up after a chilly night. I stayed at the same position to watch it while it slowly moved forward along the sunny patch leading down toward me. First when it was half a meter from me, it looked up and found out that there could be danger in the air. But even then it only flew about 5 meters before it dropped down and started to forage again. A sad birthday experience for me, who had gone to the park to try to see if I could beat my record of 67 species in a day set on one of my previous birthdays. Aberrant |

Willet (Tringa semipalmata inornata) Willet ~ Playero Pihuiuí ~ Willet 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco (jal), Mexico A single bird present. Unusual here inland, but a few birds are seen now and then. |

Wilson's Phalarope (Phalaropus tricolor) monotypic Amerikansk Svømmesneppe ~ Falaropo Pico Largo ~ Wilsonsimsnäppa 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco (jal), Mexico Compared with the also present Red-necked Phalaropes it was clear that the W's were spinning considerably faster than the RN's. See video 2189. Dont' know it is species specific. Also notice that some birds are spinning against the clock and some with it. Not sure it it is coincidental or perhaps sex related...? Didn't observe that the same bird turned both ways around. |

Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) monotypic Odinshane ~ Falaropo Cuello Rojo ~ Smalnäbbad Simsnäppa 2016-03-11 Laguna Atotonilco (jal), Mexico Basic plumage. Not sure if the spinning speed of the Red-necked generally is slower than that of the Wilson's, but it was clearly so comparing with the also present Wilson's. See video 2190. Snow geese sound in the background. |

Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird (Tilmatura dupontii) monotypic Blåstrubet Stjernekolibri ~ Colibrí Cola Pinta ~ Glitterstjärtad Skogsjuvel 2015-11-22 Arroyo Las Pilas (jal), Mexico Male. Unmistakable in the area. 2 males seen together. Not sure if all pictures are of the same bird. Lifer! Funny to observe how it looks like the right outer tail feather is missing in photo 4, whereas it is very present in number 5. |

Common Loon (Gavia immer) monotypic Islom ~ Colimbo Común ~ Svartnäbbad Islom 2015-11-06 Presa Las Pintitas (Guadalajara), Mexico Juvenile bird with finely scaled back and bright bill without black tip. Also rather brownish neck. A big surprise to find this lonely bird, and especially on a day without any waterfowl besides the locale ones. It foraged almost constantly during my stay, only staying above the surface for a longer period, as seen in the video, while it was preening. Incredible that a lake like this, with polluted water and large quantities of trash floating around, and in the middle of the city, could attract this elegant bird. Rather rare species in general to find inland in Mexico. My first in Jalisco. |
