One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon. (They're Black Crakes, btw.)

My least photographed bird is the Henslow’s sparrow, seen in April 2024 and probably never to be seen again, at least not this clearly, for the rest of my birding days #birdoftheday #birds

Bluebird, not blue #birds

Last night I watched over 100 pelicans feed just off the coast after sunset. Here's one of them. 17 frames taken from a sequence of 44 over 2.5 seconds. Incredible dinosaurs!!! 🪶

After an hour standing at the side of the dirt road scanning for birds, it was time to go. I packed up and drove the truck to the end of the road and turned around. As I passed back by the pond I glanced over and to my wonderment this creature had materialized! rare bird alert #birds

Junior red tail. Only about 30% of red tailed hawks survive their first year. I think this one is going to make it #birds

I saw some pink birds yesterday #birds

I was standing under a US highway overpass when I took this picture, traffic pounding overhead. This is how birding works. #birds

BIRD REPORT I am in a fast food drive through at a super congested exit in South Georgia and it is dusk and there is an *enormous* starling murmuration happening right in front of me. It is v beautiful This has been your Friday evening BIRD REPORT

I’m gonna start complaining about fall warblers pretty soon but before I do here’s a last look at this lovely creature #birds

Your Thursday evening egret #birds

There’s lots to say about black skimmers but thing to notice here is the feet, how does this bird not fall over #birds

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

The habitat / the bird #birds

Sunday evening pheobe. The local patch was empty this afternoon and this made me a little sad but this sweet bird appeared right as I got back to the truck and I really appreciate her for showing up #birds

When the bird is all stretched out, the feet look almost normal size. Baby purple gallinule, Southeast Texas, September 2025 #Birds #Birding #BirdWatching #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #BirdPhotography #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Gallinules

If you go to a silent place by yourself and look at the picture and let your heart reach its resting rate you may be able to hear the Bachman’s sparrows #birds

Good morning! 🪶

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Oh so that’s why it’s called a red tailed hawk #birds

I love terns in September. I’m heading back to the coast next month and can’t wait to share all the #birds with you

BIRD REPORT I have seen a cerulean warbler ! It is true. My lifer! I saw his little blue self with my own two eyes and then he flew away and I lost him in a big mess of robins This has been your Tuesday afternoon BIRD REPORT

I usually end up eye-level with the hummingbirds, so most of my shots of them are taken from the side. This is the only photo I've ever taken of one from this angle. I love that it looks like this bird is wearing shiny gold epaulets. :) #birds
