What is your most surprising bird of the (half) year?
Mine would have to be the (lifer) Chuck's-wills-widow that visited our Kansas
backyard the first week we moved here from central Minnesota; then it, of
course, hasn't dropped by audibly or visibly since.
(Unless, of course, it was the surfeit of shorebirds that graced Princeton
Sewage Ponds our last week or so in Princeton, adding new county birds not seen
in the previous nine years there. Nice to have godwits and avocets dropping
bye to say goodbye.)
