Birds we hope to count

Each winter there are always some really rare birds found across the country prior to the GBBC that we hope to be able to see and count during the count weekend.  Here are some goodies we hope to see on the count this year.  Once the count starts up, check back to see if we're able to find these birds again during the count!

Barnacle Goose--NJ, NM

Pink-footed Goose--NY

Northern Jacana--AZ

Slaty-backed Gull--NY, MA

Green-breasted Mango--GA

Black-capped Gnatcatcher--AZ

Aztec Thrush--AZ

Crescent-chested Warbler--AZ

Golden-crowned Warbler--TX

There are many other hard to find birds that we hope to see--check out a summary of some of the rarest birds being seen in the country online here.

And if you get a chance to look for one of these rare birds in your area during the count weekend, we look forward to seeing your report of these birds on the GBBC!
