Had a nice Snowy Owl today. Snowy Owl by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Was planning to go out and try to get a long exposure shot of a local waterfall with my tripod and camera trigger. It just so happened to snow as I was trying to get the shots, which made for a cool landscape. Stepstone Falls by Patrick Felker, on Flickr Stepstone Falls by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Had a nice Great Black Hawk today in Portland, Maine. Great Black Hawk by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Had a nice, rare Cattle Egret today. Cattle Egret by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

We do not get White-crowned Sparrows too often out this east, but even less adults. So it was nice to see this beautiful adult perched right out in the open for me. White-crowned Sparrow by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Had a funny moment today. In a matter of ten minutes four different species of woodpecker landed on one perch. Almost as if they were taking turns. Now I want to make this perch a patch just to see what else I can get on it.

Loving this Red-breasted Nuthatch eruption. Red-breasted Nuthatch by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Here's another view of it.

I saw this empid today (8/30/18) at Trustom Pond NWR in South Kingstown, RI. I am thinking either Alder/Willow or Least Flycatcher Empid ID by Patrick Felker, on Flickr Thanks

Today I saw this Willet in Charlestown, RI. The past few days there have been a few western Willets mixed in with the regular eastern Willets. I am thinking that this is a western Willet, because of the pale underbody, but I would appreciate some confirmation. Thanks! Willet (Western?) by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Not the greatest picture, but a pretty good bird. Little Egret Little Egret by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

Large plump bird with long down curved bill is a dead giveaway. Whimbrel confirmed. Nice picture too.

Had a nice Roseate Tern today! Roseate Tern by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

This was my last explored which I got a few weeks ago. Black Skimmer by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

How's that "amazing" July birding going? lol. There's literally nothing of note being reported in RI. A few days ago I didn't receive my Rhode Island Rare Bird Alert from ebird, because NOTHING was seen at all.

Hey, what's up guys! I haven't been on here (or discord) for a while. How have you all been? Thanks @Sean C for the mention or else I may not have found that this group is back for a while lol.

Dang nice pic of a great bird!
