  • During early spring, we try to find as many rare birds as possible in 12 hours. Our targets include a mega-rare Painted Redstart, Hudsonian Godwits, Yellow-throated Warbler, Smith's Longspurs, Cackling Geese, Eurasian Wigeon, Franklin's Gull and more. How many will we be able to see before time runs out?

    I didn't realize a painted redstart would make it all the way to Wisconsin. That was awesome!

    Nice idea for a challenge! I’ll probably try this myself at some point. If you want to get really crazy, do a “self-found” rare bird challenge! Might need to give yourself more time for that one.

    This kind of video is so fun, it's almost like just hanging out with the two of you, tagging along. I haven't got enough knowledge to fully understand why all these rare birds are rare (though I did get it about the Redstart) but it was fun anyway! I admit - rare or not, I'd have been VERY excited about the Herons. My son and I have taken to keeping watch for "unusual" birds when we're driving to do errands. I put quotes on that because honestly as new as we are to this, anything could be "unusual"!

    I actually got a painted redstart in Northern California, which was a big deal.
    But of course I got better shots in Arizona as well.
    Super cool Birds 🙂
    Good job guys. Thanks for the video 👍

    Hey! I'm still a very much unskilled amateur, but I'm confident that I saw a hooded oriole here in El Paso, TX. It was across the street from me and it only landed for about five seconds. But it had solid black with a yellowish orange, primarily orange color to it. Very rare around my neighborhood, anyway. Super cool! Maybe it was a male Bullock's oriole.

    I want your complete video there Derek and Ryan I think the Painted Redstart was one of the best that you got in your 12-hour span .
    I looked at the Sibley app and I noticed the Painted Redstart has gone as far east as Massachusetts , think about that , that's a bird that's normally only seen in Arizona .
