Saw lots of Groove-billed Anis in Costa Rica earlier this year. They are very playful and inquisitive. Was fun to watch them This one isn’t very good (was after sunset) but I like how they all were huddled together

At banding today. Sister’s pic. She’s got a better phone 😂

I have defeated a quick one

Got #100 yesterday. A Pied-billed Grebe!

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet visited my suet feeder for the first time and I got some adequate photos.

Post your photos of well camouflaged, or hidden bird! They don't have to be too well hidden, just enough to not see it right away. Here's a few of mine...

White Wagtail! 3rd county record!

I stared at that raven for an embarrassing amount of time...😂

American Pipit on Thursday.

Try new 'Head and Coverts'.

Maybe I'm just getting old, or it's past my bedtime, but the title of this thread is what caught my attention. Remove the commas and it reads, "Golden Eagle Swallows Hermit Thrush"! Sounds like the headlines of a newspaper for birds, maybe The Avian News Flash. Like I said, maybe I'm just getting old..........😕

3rd county record Great Crested Flycatcher! (last one was 1990)

Somehow this Fox Sparrow got bird poop on his head!

Dickcissel Henslow's Sparrow

Hello, it is me again, birding has been crazy here for the last couple of days for some reason. Had a plan to walk around storm water ponds by my house in the morning to try to get a better photo of swans that have been flying over or to see snow geese, but the weather decided to be -12c with the windchill and blowing snow. Almost didn’t go because nobody wants to walk in that weather, but decided to go to see if anything interesting got grounded. It was cold enough that a large pond that was ice free last night was now 80% ice covered. Was waking the path when I saw this about 7 feet away: Thought it was a Northern Pygmy Owl (which would also have been a lifer) but when I went way up and around to view it from the front I saw this: A Northern Saw-whet Owl! He was maybe 3ish feet above the ground against a slight hill, probably escaping the wind. Never thought I’d ever see one in this area. No swans or snow geese, but at least I had a good reason for not being able to feel my hands.

3rd County record Sharp-tailed Sandpiper! Last one was in 1980 something.

Around here it is common curtsy to say yes sir, No mam, Dr. and the like.
