Christyn and I did a fabulous hike a couple weeks ago a little outside of Park City, Utah.
Watch this vid to take in fun Western birds like Gray-headed Junco, Green-tailed Towhee, Mountain Chickadee and more.
Scenery was tremendous and the flowers were nice too, check out the video above!
Who needs going out west? Sometimes the West comes to you! Here's a California Gull from Warren Dunes and New Buffalo from earlier this week...
We return to Puerto Rico for this episode, birding lowland Cambalache State Forest near the northern coast of Puerto Rico. Adelaide's Warbler is an endemic that we only saw here. We also got by far our best looks of Puerto Rican Lizard-cuckoo here, as well as our only Red-legged Thrush.
Watch the vid here!
Merlins are cool birds. And they eat birds for a living, so should we be surprised they're constantly strafing each other and whatever they can find, from gulls to jays to kestrels to bats to any small airborne creature?
In this vid watch one barrel roll and nearly loop the loop after a passerine, and then full frame with a Nashville it caught over the lake. After that let's play chicken with Blue Jays!
These are REALLY similar. And some of the things we use to separate Forster's Tern from Common Tern in the spring won't work in the fall. Let's talk about how to separate these two birds!
We were lucky enough to have a juvie Buff-breasted Sandpiper land in front of us during Tuesday Morning Birding. And I do mean RIGHT in front of us, click the link for the vid and the discussion!
Juvie, one-year-old, and adult Bonaparte's Gulls! I guess a person could question how separable a 2nd year bird would be, but we can debate that in the YouTube comments
