I’ve upgraded my gear Now using a Sony A1ii + 600mm F6.3 Appropriately, I immediately took it to the closest butterbutt Yellow-rumped Warbler 📷🌿🪶

I’m saddened. Today I discovered one of our resident red shouldered hawks has died… This one had no band. So I believe it was her mate. They successfully fledged a juvenile this spring Rest free, friend 🪶

#BirdoftheDay theme is #Black&White so I’ll share this Lark Bunting from Montana this past June.

Sound on! Is this a young great horned owl learning what a northern flicker call is for the first time? Yes it is! This owl is a part of a sibling trio I’ve been tracking born this spring in my neighborhood The Northern Flicker has just arrived from fall migration! Lifer! Great Horned Owl 🌿🦉

And the keeper's not to be trifled with let me tell you 🪶

This Phoebe was doing drills. He's gonna be a menace in the backfield 🪶

This is the kind of background gradient that you usually have to do in post, but this one I just imported it onto my phone and took a screenshot. 🪶 🐦‍⬛

Let me correct that for you ESPN media is trying so hard to erase Covid-19… He has POTS, common in long-Covid, a chronic neurological condition, because Covid-19 is a virus that attacks nerves A regular upper respiratory virus does not cause POTS The situation with Porzingis is embarrassing

I got off mg whale watching boat this morning Lots of storm petrels still The deckhand greets me off with a “see you next week!” I’m a regular 😭

#Birder Joy: the golden-crowned sparrows who winter in my yard arrived ~2 weeks ago. I'm tickled that the single white-throated sparrow that's migrated with them the last 2 years is also back. It's so fun to recognize it as an individual bird & I love that they find my yard a welcoming habitat.

My top 4 Crow Full Moon shots tonight. P L E N T Y of video to edit someday! 🪶 🐦‍⬛

Coco’s Booby! One of 4 that visited our boat on Saturday! Beautifully hilarious looking 📷🌿🪶

She's a beauty! Belted Kingfisher. Peace!✌️ #birds #birding #kingfisher #BirdOfTheDay #BirdSuperModel

Perhaps one of the #UnsungBirds for the Alt theme, this gray catbird thinks it could be a main theme #BirdSupermodel if given the chance! #BirdOfTheDay #birds #catbirds #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

Hey drivers! Please use your turn signals at a four-way stop so I know that you’re turning left and not going straight through

Let’s play a game of find the bird! For context this photo was taken at 840mm and was cropped to get one of my photos below Without too much math. It is quite similar to the view I get from my 10x42mm binoculars I wish this bird was closer 😭 🪶

The biggest highlights however were not of the avian variety Loggerhead Sea Turtle 🐢 Striped Marlin 🐟 📷🌿

Coco’s Booby, Least Storm Petrel — lifer! 🪶

We are waiting to get on the pelagic and in the twilight, an overly friendly old male birder yells out at me… Good morning young lady!… Or man… In my baritone, good morning 😒

Today starts a 10 day heat wave. Southern California will see up to 100° near the coast this weekend I’m real glad I’m spending 9 hr on a pelagic tomorrow Chance of orcas as well!

A little something to motivate you through the hump day afternoon doldrums Once uncommon, these flycatchers have proliferated all over Orange County Vermilion Flycatcher 📷🌿🪶

Walking around in the bush with my head down again this morning. I’m absolutely in love with the gills on this mushroom. I think it might be a type of oysterling. 🍄🌿

Hearing white crowned sparrows on my morning walks again make me so happy

There are American Wigeons visiting :) #birds 🪶

His “health issues” POTS can be managed but not when you need your heart to work harder than 99.99% of other humans Sorry doesn’t work that way

No Orcas but lot of Murres! And 1000s of shearwaters Common Murre 📷🌿🪶

Oh dear, I am tempted to respond to a person with Influence In Birding who has a belittling, dismissive thread on here but then I’d give them more attention. ARG! Also it may be on purpose to provoke people? Which has definitely worked on me. Posting an awesome bird instead. (Ruddy Duck) #birds 🌿
