A few days ago I inadvertently walked into a Turkey Vulture convention while the keynote speaker was addressing the crowd! #birds #birding #vultures

1/2 I need help Identifying this tern. It was taken Oct 8 at Nungaray reserve near Houston on the gulf of MEXICO. It doesn't show up on the ebird list, and google says it's a white tern #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #EastCoastKin #Photography #Birding #NaturePhotography

Big Bird for your #Stunday …

Captured this Great Blue Heron on top of large Cypress tree as he began to fly.

Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) in Prime Hook NWR, Delaware (Feb. 2012). This was the most birds I'd ever seen in one place. #birding #birdsofbluesky

Went for a stroll around the block (not pictured but seen: Downy woodpecker, W. Scrub jay, Stellers Jay, and a dozen collared doves that Merlin cannot pick up no matter how loud they are). I cannot confirm the phoebe it thought it heard but we do get them here so it's not implausible.) #birding

When you go on the new Birdforum. 🤣 #birds #birding

A rather disappointing, weather-disrupted, October Big Day on the local patch yesterday, with only 50 species seen. But highlights inc. dipper, woodlarks, yellowhammers, kingfisher, red kites, griffons, great egret, short-toed eagle and hen harrier #birds #birding #OrbValleyBirding #orbvalleyflyway

We played Wingspan last night for the first time since I returned from my birdwatching trip to Costa Rica. I only played one bird from the new Americas expansion, but it was one I saw in CR: a Blue-black Grassquit! And I even saw it do its mating dance / hop. #Wingspan #birding
