I'm probably reaching in on 250

 

But I do live on a very birding friendly country. We get a lot of the US birds in migration times.

 

My most recent spotting was this

Terrible photo I know. But an amazing Dendrortyx macroura

You definitely don't live in Canada then haha. I knew right away that that bird is not in America or Canada. I looked it up and its a Mexican bird haha. Have you heard of this website? https://neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/overview?p_p_spp=83911

You get a whole host of species that summer here. I would presume Rufous Hummingbird, Bullocks Oriole, and Nashville Warbler among many others? I don't study wintering ranges as much.

Yes almost all warblers that breed in the US come here for winter

My favourite is the Black-And-White warbler

You should make your own gallery

I like to use the Birds of Mexico and Central America by Ber Van Perlo. The illustrations aren't amazing but it has all the species, pretty much

My favorite field guide is the Sibley Guide to Birds Second Edition. My favorite birds are the warblers, I have seen 26 species of warbler. They are the highlight of migration for me haha. What you have for winter I have for summer lol. Awesome stuff to study. I have a Warbler book by Peterson. One cool thing to note is that your part of Mexico seemingly have more westward neotropicals. Ones that are western exclusive in the usa tend to winter in your part of mexico, the eastern exclusive ones tend to winter in the carribean, central america, or south america it seems. Based on similar habitat?

Ah you're right. I'm not sure about similar habitat, they may just go straight south so a lot of warblers that breed in florida make hops around the caribbean islands and winter in south america.

 

If there's one bird I really envy from you guys it's the Blue Jay. We have our own jays but not that one. We do have Steller's Jays
