#lincoln's sparrow #sparrow #birds #birdwatching #bird photography #i tell people they can id them as “a song sparrow. but he's nice :)”

everyone talks about sparrows and gulls being hard to ID but let's talk about thrushes

i think this is a swainson's thrush

#least flycatcher #birdwatching #birds #bird photography #thought this thang was a kinglet until i went through my camera #i'm still only barely confident in the id bc the legs are black #aaauughghgh

trumpeter swan with a somewhat tattered wing and backside. i can only assume it had a showdown with one of the bald eagles nesting directly above where i shot this.

actually managed to get some decent photos of a marsh wren today. lightning is easier to photograph than these things. they are so distressingly small. motherfucker limited.

oh my god his carpet matches his drapes

This sora kept popping out in plain sight for me. A few minutes later, another birder would come by and tell me they were hoping to see one, and when I would show them where this one was foraging, it was gone. This happened three times!

completely captivated by the yellow-headed blackbirds. they meet me with a boldness and curiosity that their red-winged counterparts don't dare (they're a bit like the Brewer's in that way), and their song is so attention-grabbing. they feel like my consolation prize for not having any native parrots in my region.

took an all-day walk along the river and unknowingly had lunch under an eagle's nest, which i only noticed when a big shadow flew overhead. papa kept an eye on me while i took some pictures and made sure i knew he was doing it.
