I had the privilege to take my friend and her bird-loving 7yo for birding this weekend. She loved hearing the birds sing with the parabolic mic.
Listen to the birdsong and our cute dialog as she hears a White-eyed Vireo and Golden-cheeked Warbler. 🪶🔊
Tonight, February 26 Barn Swallow season has officially started! The big cold front just left central Texas.
It's the fourth year this nest is being used. 💯 bird build quality. 🪶
Better.

It's a hard life out there for a bird. 🪶

I don't like TikTok but don't support banning it either. We should treat the root cause of social media manipulation and astroturfing not the symptom. #socialmedia
You should open a support ticket on eBird and they can probably get you sorted.
How strange! I haven’t seen anything like that. I upload jpeg photos. Are your images smaller than the 10 megabyte limit?
Looking back at my 2024 birding stats is wild.
📷 11,541 bird photos taken
📝 122 eBird checklists
🐦⬛ 257 species seen
⏳ 116 hours of birding
I uploaded 106 photos (less than 1%!) and 124 recordings to eBird. 🪶

Half the fun of the waxwings is their cute whistling. Listen to several in this 2022 recording I captured in San Antonio. 🪶🔊

Let's ring in the New Year like a Cedar Waxwing by eating our weight in fermented berries. 🪶
Honey, I shrunk the birds!
This Christmas, I miniaturized my first decade of bird photography into something extra special and extra tiny. I created and mailed out over 50 unique mini framed bird photos as gifts to my friends. 🪶 📷

Merlin app successfully ID’s the Bewick’s Wren cloaca photo LOL
Curiosity got the best of me. Merlin can ID bird butts. Technology is amazing. 🪶 #computervision
A Bewick’s Wren perched on a lichen-covered log facing away showing the underside of its tail and its cloaca. LOL
This morning, after 10 years of birding, I photographed a bird butthole.
Here is the cloaca of a Bewick’s Wren! 🤣🫣🪶
Are cacti just juicy defense trees? 🌳
Congrats! I love seeing them around!

Woodpeckers love more than just trees 🌵🪶
Any Killdeer enjoyers?
Been a huge fan of this bird for a while.
I often hear them singing as they fly around dawn or dusk.
Recorded this cutie with the parabolic mic on October 13. 🪶🔊
My husband always refers to cormorants and Anhingas as “the bird with fleas” 😭.
They don’t deserve that rap! 🪶
Do you hear about other birds with unfair reputations?
Look twice and you might spot an Anhinga slinking through the waters.
Like cormorants, a lack of waterproofing require them to dry their wings in the sun.
Recorded these cuties in Orlando on 11/23 with a Parabolic mic.

Apparently, moor means a tract of open, uncultivated land.
I love when the common or Latin names of birds give clues on where or what to look for. 🪶 #waterfowl
This drama bird has a cutesy forehead shield and a tongue-twister name.
I recorded this Common Gallinule last month in the marshes of the Wildlife Drive at Lake Apopka in Florida.

Happy Thanksgiving, #BirdSky! Let’s show some love for the Wild Turkeys out there trying to do their best. 🦃 🪶
Thank you! They always have such an attitude.
Packed with whimsy!
@rept-hal.bsky.social this will interest you! 🤩
The photo above is my pic of a Common Nighthawk since it’s the most similar bird I’ve seeeeen 🤣🪶📷
After a decade of birds I only recently started birding at dusk.
I was immediately treated to a new song from a bird with a bizarre name.
This is the Chuck-will’s-widow I recorded at Government Canyon this summer. 🪶🔊
I haven’t seen the hybrid since I’m firmly in Black-crested area, but I’d love to hear their songs! 🪶🔊
