I’m not too far from you and the best I’ve ever done is 77. And that was with some rare ones during a cold snap. I think I’ll wait and do a May 100.

Best bird of 2025 so far: Cackling Goose!

Thanks! I’m in the WV herp society but was unable to make it to this last conference that you spoke at.

Got ravens? 🪶

A smaller heron with slate blue colored feather with purplish areas, a light colored plume and longer light colored feathers on its back. It is standing in water, hunched over and looking for food.

Tricolored Heron looking for snacks. These herons tend to be found in coastal areas and mostly eat small marsh fishes.

Love those purple-pink skies

Mountains and pine trees under a blue sky

The most beautiful place I visited this summer — the Beartooth Highway in MT / WY. I highly recommend the drive!

Hi everyone,

I’m Daniel. I love birding, and looking for salamanders, and exploring the wild areas of West Virginia. I enjoy sharing my photos!

I was __daniel____ on Twitter and would love to find a lot of my old connections from over there and make new ones as well!

Upland Sandpiper from a trip to South Dakota this summer. I saw 20+ including some babies! #lifer

Since I’ve barely ever posted on here I didn’t realize how many of my old Twitter friends had moved over and missed out on my pics over the past year or so. Time to catch you up.

For sure! I also got my lifer Barrow’s Goldeneye there too and I liked them as well.

One of my favorite lifers from this summer — Harlequin Ducks at Yellowstone!

Nice fall scene on the Ohio River
