Meet the #sahulsunbird, a bird who makes a truly remarkable hanging nest of lichen, leaves, and spider webs. #australianbirds #birdillustration #birdnerd
For all you #birders out there (including me) -

Alternate version of the maryland state flag with black and yellow squares showing baltimore orioles and red and white squares showing great blue herons
I’ve been living in #Maryland for a few months now, which means I am slowly coming to terms with the baffling psychedelic marvel that is the state flag. I sat down today and created what I’m going to call the Maryland Birder’s Flag featuring the #baltimoreoriole (duh) and the #greatblueheron
Omg I’m so excited for you!

You know I’m always gonna be one of *those* dorks! Happy Superb Owl Sunday from me and this #rufousowl I met in #darwin last October. #birdillustration #australia #australianbirds #doofybirds #birdnerd
Made the last minute decision to go to the Anti-ICE protest in DC so hastily printed the "Restore the Swamp" for my sign. It's up on #redbubble if you dig it! #dcwetlands #restoretheswamp #washingtondc

D.C. wants to be a swamp and I think it’s for the best that we let it be reclaimed by nature. My new slogan: Make D.C. Wetlands Again!

Amazing! 🙌🏻
Australia has quite the rep for being scary but I (an American) have been here a month and I am mostly afraid of 1) being swooped by a magpie or plover, 2) complicated roundabouts, and 3) Tasmanian drivers (y’all wanna drive 100 km/hr on narrow, windy roads with wallabies everywhere?!)
Immediately my first thought as well!
Two things can be true: #birding is wonderful and terrible. Tell me about your favorite worst day, fellow #birdnerds !

In honor of #cassowary day, I have my own experience to share this week! I love #farnorthqueensland youtu.be/HSNChH5yxgE?... #birdnerd #doofybirds

#Birding in a new place is funny because the exciting lifer you saw in the morning can be deemed commonplace by the evening.
