What Bird Is That Forum

One of my favorite things on the old forum was the "Birds of North America #2 thread. Trying to find slides of needed birds in my brother's old slides and rooting for other members to chase needed birds.

It's really painful to start over, but I finally decided against trying to pick up where we left off in any way.

Rules: we will use the current ABA checklist to define species. You must have taken the photo yourself in the USA or Canada. Please include when and where the photo was taken. If you do not know the exact location or date, approximate as best you can.
