I assume this is a juvenile male just molting into his adult plumage. I really like the funky textures he has going on

And then there were two! I waited about an hour and a half mostly staring at the reeds, and finally a Sora popped out. And then another one popped out! And then they went for a swim! The female is in front on the left and the male is behind. More in alt text. #Birds 🪶

BIRD REPORT there are four northern rough winged swallows flying around my Atlanta neighborhood among the oaks and poplars, nowhere near water, nowhere near a field, and in ten solid years of birding I have never once seen this This has been your Tuesday morning BIRD REPORT

Hey #birds

In the mood to post a bird this evening so here you go #birds

Do birds see us walking everywhere and think we’re stupid

Female birds with confusing names.

I was able to visit one of our local marshes this morning and it was busy! Just after sunrise, this spotted sandpiper came flying in for some morning foraging in the shallows! #Birds 🪶

There were 4 of these guys on my walk at lunch at work. This was my best shot out of the lot. #birds #birding #birdphotography #bluesky #photography #nature #naturephotography #nikon #heron #greenheron #urbanwildlife

I birded a pretty remote part of the north Georgia mountains on Monday and I am pleased to report that I saw my first black bear ever, rollicking down the mountain away from me. He was dark and beautiful and sooo chonky and full of fur. What an absolute thrill!

Walked along the Appalachian Trail on Monday and look I found a tiny forest chicken #birds

Oh so that’s why it’s called a white eyed vireo #birds

Hey kids the kingbirds are back #birds

Yellowthroat, blending in. #BirdOfTheDay #Yellow 📷🌿🪶

It was gloomy morning, but I checked out one of our local urban marshes anyway! A mallard pair had it all to themselves until a pair of Willets showed up! The sun just peeked out a bit when this Willet decided to forage in the shallows near the shore! #Birds #photography 🪶

I was birding my local patch today and I came across a woman hugging a tall white ash. I said “beautiful tree.” She smiled and told me that the inner earth people, who live under the oceans and who have science that makes us look like cavemen, will be emerging in 2-5 yrs 1/2

This trio of juvenile green herons continue to expand their territory and learn how to be adults! I saw this adult try to urge the juveniles to move and extend their necks as they ready to hunt on their own ZOOP TRAINING! What a gorgeous morning to observe this family 📷🌿🪶

Spring warblers are the most frustrating birds ever, especially those ones that stay way the hell up in the canopy and sing all those crazy high pitched songs. But today this fine prince came down to my level for a half-second photo op #birds
