My favorite bird!!!!! I have many photos I love of them, but this portrait is my best. My favorite are the ones that capture their adorable bill vibration behavior. They are so fun to watch!10 points

Never seen one close enough to get a good photo - hopefully won't be too long before that will change.4 points

Thanks Kevin. How about we start off this week with Snowy Egret, as we haven’t done many large waders yet.4 points

I wasn't able to ID the Catfish until I got home and looked at the pic on a big screen. I didn't stick around long enough, but I'm pretty certain the Great Blue Heron gave up on the catch. I watched most of the action from when it snatched the fish out of the water, until four minutes later when it dropped the fish on the ground and was facing the other way. The GHB was able to flip the fish vertically, but even with that angle it was too wide to fit in its mouth. Had it not been the end of a long, hot walk, I would have stuck around for the definitive conclusion, but I'm reasonably sure the bird didn't get the meal: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/4311797414 points

It's now April which means my trip to Texas is coming up. I've got most of the trip planned out at this point, really just focusing on getting as many ABA birds as possible. I'm hoping for at least 30, it really is just going to depend on how good migration is when I visit High and South Padre island. Right now the plan is to bird High Island the first evening and the next day up to around one. Then we'll head south to Bolivar flats, quickly check it out, and hopefully make it to some sod fields (for BBSA and AMGP) part way down to the valley before sunset.3 points

Both immatures and adults can show white spots on the uppers. The bird in this post is an adult. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/304104541 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/412656641 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/2347143213 points

I think this is the earliest in the year I’ve had 70+ species in a day, in my county. 5 FOY birds today, with Chipping Sparrow in my yard, Field Sparrow, Hermit Thrush, Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectoral Sandpiper.3 points

It was tough deciding if this photo belonged here or in the Almost Good thread.3 points
