Incredible first Massachusetts state record bird!

#pets #animalkingdom

Episode 29 of my 2025 birding challenge. I've already met the challenge as of the last video, but I'm still birding and I add three more great birds in this episode. First a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher which is a bird I have always wanted to see in MA. Then a Greater White-fronted Goose which is a really good bird but not quite as exciting. Then, incredibly, a Massachusetts first state record Limpkin! I was able to get really good video of all three birds which makes this episode even more exciting.

The 2025 challenge list so far:
