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
Here’s a little jewel!!! Lance and I got them just in time for Empids class. By Cin-Ty Lee and Andrew Birch I’ve not had time to review it thoroughly, but the simplicity of presentation and Andrew Birch’s beautiful paintings already impress me!!
Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes. I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?
I’ve watched a number of these webinars from Los Angeles Birders. There’s one coming up on August 8 that looks interesting. Or you can find one that interests you in their archives. Grand Challenges at the Frontiers of Bird Science LA Birder Webinars
On Saturday Lance, Jane Tillman and I chased the much visited Gray Kingbird in Houston. Here’s a few pix. I was most impressed with the BILL!! When we arrived there were several kingbirds present and I thought: “is that it?…..is that it?” but once you see that great honkin bill….case closed!!! We also picked up…
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
