This is, in fact, where I park at my office building. I took this as a sign that my employer does seem to understand me. #birds #birding

Sage Thrasher this morning out in the desert. We’re having an outbreak of these birds in Southern California. They’re being seen everywhere. Gorgeous birds. #birds #birding

Ok you’re right sorry. The various SoCal birding groups have pelagic trips throughout the year so we can see our ocean birds. So I try to make a few of these each year as it helps my county bird numbers! Bonus are the whales and dolphins typically encountered…

Went out on a pelagic trip last weekend and still haven’t looked at all the photos, but here’s a Rhinoceros Auklet we got to see - actually saw 100s of these birds but most not so close #birds #birding

Swinhoe’s White-eye in Lakewood, CA. These imported birds continue to expand their range in Southern California. And I’m always happy to see these little busybodies do their thing. #birds #birding

Agreed, but it was a pre-booked trip and they didn’t want to lose the deposit…😆

Black-and-white Warbler with a spider snack this morning in Lakewood, CA #Birds #Birding

yes there'll be many places with fewer resources after these fires we're having. i've been wondering what this will mean for locals and migrants.

Thank you!

This Black-throated Green Warbler is back in San Gabriel, presumably for another winter. Photographed this bird last year in the same park. #birds #birding

Smoke from local fires has made birding hazardous (we’re also under evac warnings), but here’s a Solitary Sandpiper from last weekend. #birds #birding

this is a fantastic photo!!

Yellow-rumped warbler from a day spent chasing rare birds (which I did not see), but plenty of consolation prizes like this one #birds #birding

This was definitely one of the best birds I saw in 2024. Yellow-browed Antbird along the Napo River in Ecuador. hope I can get back next year! #birds #birding

How cool is the Magpie Tanager I got to see in July outside Tena, Ecuador #birds #birding

Maybe the most difficult bird to see was the Buff-tailed Sicklebill. we found this beauty in a bog after a long hike near the Napo River in Ecuador‘s amazon region. #birds #birding

Had a great year of birding, with some amazing encounters I won’t forget. Here’s a Red-crested Cotinga I saw near Nono, Pichincha, Ecuador. #birds #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

Wanted to contribute to the last #MallardMonday of the year. #birds #birding
