Up in oregon now. I’ve heard Dusky, Cordilliran and pacific slope flycatchers by sound and location. Pix have been tough!! Golden eagle fly by yesterday. I love waking and going to sleep to the songs of Hermit and Swainson’s Thrushes. Glad we got up to the pacific NW to escape the heat
The TBRC is pleased to announce that both Steller’s Sea-Eagle and Limpkin have been added to the official State List, bringing it to 657! The Steller’s Sea-Eagle is perhaps one of the more unexpected addition in recent years, with an adult bird seen and photographed by Kris & Jeff Groscop and Gene & Sandi Roesler…
Here’s more on egrets/herons focusing on feeding behavior (mostly).
Here’s one i know u wont have trouble with. but for those of you up to the challenge, i’d like u to detail the differences between this bird seen at mills pond this morning, and others of the “solitary Vireo complex”. (actually I think this is 2 individuals, same species).
Anybody else see this cool local visitor?
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…
