Favorite Photos Here are a few I liked. I was pleased to find a Little Gull to get my gull-fix in !! Little Gull Friends !! I really enjoy the 2 groups of birders that Eric and I bird with on this annual trip!! Shorebirds Warblers and woodland passerines are only part of the fun…
Still from Granger yesterday. Here’s a few shorebirds for any graduate of the Shorebird Class to ID. Look at the flying flock carefully.
Here’s a little gulls quiz for the IDDGG class of 2023 and a video of gull-pipers (still at Granger yesterday).
The view from Hornsby today.
Love it when it’s quiet enough to hear the snap of warbler bills. The “snap” may be the warblers popping open elm seeds, as it sounds particularly loud these days. Update: I now believe the snap I hear is the warbler bill coming together on an insect. Not seeds popping. I knew y’all were waiting…
Really enjoyed this beautiful and cooperative gull !! I’ve decided Glaucous and Iceland are my favorites, until I see an Ivory or Ross’s at least!!
