First county record means that I'm the first person to have ever seen one in my entire county. That's pretty awesome.

Wow that is awesome congratulations!

Wow that is awesome congratulations!

Thanks! Unfortunately, however, I realized it was actually a slightly-more-common bird, the Mourning Warbler. Not a first county record, but still and awesome bird, a lifer, and a rarity.

Well, probably someone saw one, but didn't know what it was!

I saw an indigo bunting today!

I'm not even too sure about that one. Warblers are kinda hard to randomly just see on a walk or something, especially Geothlypis Warblers.

I spotted a Yellow-Billed Cuckoo here the other day, which was a first. I'd never seen one here before, so it was really exciting!

Awesome! They're a lot more common then most people realize, just because of how secretive they are. If you learned their calls I bet you'd be hearing them almost every day.
