One side of the Purple Martin box I'll be taking care of this season.
Nine Purple Martins on the box I took care of last season
I'm very excited to take care of the Purple Martins in my area again this year, they are a wonderful species and such a unique opportunity to connect with nature in a respectful way. #birds #birding #martins
Great #Birding day, found 4 new species for the year, with 1 of them being a new #Lifer, the Winter Wren! 🐦
One bird that continues to evade me this year is the Meadowlark...Been searching for one but no luck.
On our last loop of the evening around the autoroute, this beautiful #BaldEagle was perched above its hunting grounds and within sight of its nest with at least two #eaglets at #RNWR

A list of birds: white ibis, yellow-crowned national gut heron, eastern kingbird, loggerhead shrike, black-bellied whistling duck, anhinga
List of birds: black vulture, swallow-tailed kite, common grackle, Carolina chickadee, northern cardinal, summer tanager
List of birds: prothonotary warbler, chimney swift, blue jay, laughing gill, American redstart, fish crow.
Just got back from a few days in New Orleans and snagged 18 lifers. Here’s my list.
The yellow-crowned night heron was incredible. Tanager was a lovely treat, and I’ve wanted to see a shrike ever since I learned they existed.

A Great Blue Heron hunched over the water with its bill barely out of the water. There is a little water splash near the bill.

First time birding in a long time, got close to four species of water birds: white-cheeked pintail (Anas bahamensis), American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus), possibly a lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) and a sandpiper (possibly Calidris pusilla)🌿 #birds #birding #guadeloupe #gwada
A female Cooper's Hawk stands in the creek and is all fluffed out after dunking herself into the water. Shoreline rocks are in the background.
A male Cooper's Hawk stands in the creek while looking back towards the camera. The background shoreline is dirt and vegetation.
I had a a pair of Cooper's Hawks visit me today and I got to watch them bathe themselves in the creek. I've never seen that before.

The buffleheads in this photo - the male one with the large white patches on its head, shoulders, and tail - and the two other birds with smaller white splashes on their heads and wings - had just taken off when I snapped this photo. You can see the splashes in the water behind them that show where they started to lift off. The bright orange feet of the male are dangling below its body, as if the bird had not yet retracted its landing gear. As the hashtags say, this is an action shot. That means it is not as in-focus as it might be.

A Hooded Merganser drifts through still water, crest held high like it knows it’s being watched. The reflection trails behind, just a half-second slower.

In the right light their wing tips are dark green, not black.

A photo of two Eurasian collared doves (Streptopelia decaocto) foraging on the ground amongst mulch and low green plants, with a dark background. They are medium-sized doves that are a soft pinkish-gray in color with a partial black ring around the neck and dark red eyes.
First doves I've seen in the yard, and it was a pair of Eurasian collared doves. Surprise!

A Sandhill Crane flew directly over my head last week. Perfect light. Camera was in the bag. Every birder has a version of this story. What is yours?

The new birdwatching programme on Channel 5 with @adrianedmondson.bsky.social and Sam West is an utter delight. Loved every minute of it! #birding
A pair of Jackdaws perch on a wall made of sharp, grey flints with a back ground of green grass. The birds are black with a silver grey sheen to the backs of their heads and they have round pale eyes that stand out from their black faces. Both birds face to the right. The bird to the back and left turns its head back over its shoulder while the bird to the fore and right leans forward as if just about to hop off the wall onto the ground.
