With nothing unusual on my garden list  yesterday and a cold wind I decided to see how many species I could see online in a day.

Starting early at Urdaibai marshes at 07:13 Cettis warbler (heard throughout the day),greenshank, coot, black-winged stilt, pintail, yellow-legged gull, cormorant, spoonbill, grey heron, mallard, lapwing. Switched to feeder cam for greenfinch, chaffinch, great tit, house sparrow and robin. A return to the marsh camera later in the afternoon added teal, carrion crow, snipe, gadwall, pochard and little egret.

On to nest cams at birdfood.co.uk/webcams added tawny owl, little owl, barn owl, kestrel, jackdaw and white stork.

Cornell cameras at allaboutbirds.org/cams -  Bermuda petrel, Royal albatross, barred owl, red-tailed hawk (in a gale) and American kestrel.

Back in the UK at wildlifetrusts.org/webcams - Kittiwakes (Newcastle), Black-headed gull (Poole Harbour), tufted duck, moorhen, Great-Black Backed Gull, Mute Swan (all just up the road at Brockholes), Canada Goose (Langford Lakes) and the Rutland Ospreys.

Birdcams.live  for Lesser Kestrel (with bonus Spotless Starlings), Black Vulture , White tailed Eagle, Saker falcon, Black Stork, Buzzard, Eagle Owl (didn't know they eat hedgehogs), White Bellied Sea Eagle (Sydney), Goshawk, Golden Eagle (Latvia looks good for raptors)

Viewbirds.com - Bananaquit (Bonaire), fulmar (Shetland), nesting- swift (Israel), Carolina Wren, Eastern Bluebird, Oak Titmouse, House Finch, Bald Eagle, Great Blue Heron , Gannet (Australia-great close Ups)

Viewbirds.com/feeders.htm  Patagonia Arizona-Broad-billed hummingbird

Allaboutbirds.org/cam

Cornell feeders. American Goldfinch, Downy Woodpecker, Mourning Dove, Red-winged blackbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Grackle, Cardinal, Blue Jay, Common Starling

Panama feeders- Gray-headed Rail, Red-crowned woodpecker, Garden Emerald Hummingbird, Thick-Billed Euphonia, Crimson-backed Tanager, Blue-gray tanager, Orange-billed sparrow.

80+ species from the sofa. Quite a few nest boxes are not yet occupied so there will be more to see later in the season, for example Roller and Hoopoe nests  are still unoccupied.

While you are staying at home to protect the NHS you can get birding on this webcam. This excellent  camera pans and zooms around this marshland in northern Spain. Regular sightings include spoonbill, three egret species and osprey. Cettis warbler  is calling now. Its a bit like Horrocks without the wind blowing through you.   Stay safe at home. https://www.birdcenter.org/en/birds/bird-cams-birds-in-the-urdaibai-marsh

Don't know if people are aware but there is (I think) a new LIVE camera on You Tube based in West Texas which has simply awesome hummingbirds as it's main attraction. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOANxFGgYBI.  You will not be disappointed.

Awesome that John, the Varigated Squirrel was back again yesterday with the Rufous Motmot, I've noticed some birds tolerate certain other birds and some of these Squirrels, others fly off well before and you kind of have an incline something is due on the feeder.
Something I have noticed is those Grey-headed Chacalaca's can clean up on that feeder, especially when that group of 6 turn up, they are there for ages, and subsequently the feeder can be void of fruit for ages.

Getting addictive...Now added to the Ontario Feeders, Ruffed Grouse and to the Sappsucker ones, American Goldfinch, White-breasted Nuthatch and both male and female Northern Cardinal. In real life I would have had six lifers.

The grouse has got to be the top bird so far.

Sapsucker is pretty good right now, heavy snow so the feeders have been mobbed. initially up to 25 Blackbirds and Grackles, then lots of the Goldfinches and Mourning Doves, Red-bellied Woodpecker and best of all, after 30 minutes at least of coaxing, a Northern Cardinal up on the table. What a beauty!

I think I had one on Saturday Ian, see my post below, difficult to tell with the small greenish yellow birds that visit the fruit, obviously the greeny cast of the jungle foliage, the light, shadows etc.

I did wonder about House Bunting, can only see them as being resident in Africa, mainly in the North.
European Starling I should imagine are fairly common now after being introduced.

On the Sapsucker feeders, just notched up Hairy Woodpecker, so I'm nearing parity with you Brian, bearing in mind that my peripheral fowl have now been excluded. However I am intrigued by House Bunting on your list, is there a Cat C type population in the US as with the Starling for instance? It's not cricket to challenge IDs and I certainly wouldn't for a UK sighting but with this being US birds and a bit of fun I did wonder, please don't be offended.

Smart that John, there's a Brown Four-eyed Opossum and 4 subspecies of the 'Gray' too!
I think the ears on the Brown are mostly naked, this one clearly shows fur on the ears. smile

__________________

Also, according to Wikipedia "Its testicles drag on the ground behind it as it walks".

Which accounts for its local name of " The Oomigoolie 'Possum" derived from its shrill cry when travelling over sharp gravel or brambles.

This little gem is according to me .... you can't beat the old jokes !!

Roger.

Smart birds those Evening Grosbeaks John, unusual plumage to say the least and their faces remind me so much of a Hawfinch.
Yeah last one was 1980 Highland.

The Reds versus The Yellows in Ontario with a Redpoll as ref.

About time we had another Evening Grosbeak in Britain, just looked it up and it's getting on for 40 years since the last one. (I'd settle for a Pine Grosbeak though).

Cheers John

Worth a quick scan when I got in as I think this could be a Tennessee Warbler, correct me if it's not. I'm not the best on tropical Birds.

Rob,
The female Red - crowned Woodpecker I had seen several times,
But this was the first male I have seen.
Yes we got the power outage yesterday and about 1.30pm out there today we got loud off stage talking, with laughter, that flushed everything for sometime.
So I could get some work done.

Keith there was 2 (presumably a pair?) at 14.41 hrs Panama time, roughly 2 hours ago. Glad to see the live feed back on, there was an unexpected power cut yesterday.

Tough one Ian, especially from one image where only one position of the bird is depicted.
Mottled-cheeked Tyrannulet perhaps, or what about female Blackpoll Warbler?
