Glad you folks had a good time and thanks for sharing, Rich!

Just the Merlin ID pic but we may have just hit the 100 species mark in our home list.

Hope to get a visual confirmation, or at least a 2nd audio ID on a Northern Yellow Warbler. Didn't know this canary look-alike even existed!



What a beautiful bird. Merlin says it's a common warbler. News to me. Anyone see these.

Yes, they are later arrivals than the yellow-rumped or common yellowthroat warblers. The males are VERY vocal in the trees in late spring / early summer. They can be elusive but if you are patient, you will find a bird singing on a branch in the open.

...Tucson area .... antelope jack rabbits

You got see real life Jackalope!?! But no pics?

White Winged Dove

These were common in Costa Rica and I so could NOT get the darn song out of my head...

Busy Merlin morning. 23 birds, with possibly another new. Black Phoebe shows as "unlikely" around here but habitat seems right, so maybe?

Caught this one at the Seattle Aquarium trying to sneak in...

Black phoebes have been expanding their range north. There are several at Ridgefield NWR, not far from your house. And your bankside location would be a prime ambush spot for bugs hatching in the river or traveling along the river corridor.

Expanded my life list by a bunch the last couple days. I have not been taking many photos but got close enough to these 3 to get bad cell phone pics

Wow already dinner time. Google refugio loc volcanes

 

[CanoeGuy]

Sorry. Didn't have time to include these








These are the 2 coolest we have seen

Like you weren't imagining a bucktail pattern being stripped through one of the main display tanks. Takes one to know one I say.

Been a couple American Goldfinches around recently. They are more reclusive than the sparrows.

Found a few of these....

Stepping out of the PacNW with a few headshots of beautiful birds from Tanzania in August that I thought were worth sharing. Hard to believe some of these birds are real. Not a birding safari (wildebeest migration focused), and I was the only guest who cared about and had studied birds for the trip. I managed to pick up 106 life birds.

Gray Crowned Crane


Secretarybird


Kori Bustard (largest African bird able to fly, can weigh up to 40 lbs)


While not a head shot, the colorful Lilac-breasted Roller turned the heads of every guest on the trip.
