Bird Nerd Report – July 2026
There’s not much to report this month. With the end of spring migration, heat waves, the World Cup and other events, I’ve not set aside any time for birding. All the birds listed below are from casual observations, such as the birds I saw on the river behind Centreville Bank Stadium when I attended a Boston Legacy soccer game last weekend. I’m looking forward to some bird walks and field trips in August.

Me watching show set in the American Southwest: "Okay, so I was pleased the first time I heard the mountain chickadee, but are you trying to tell me the chickadees are chill and happy in ALL of these scenes? NONE of these human crimes and disturbances are raising the Chickadee Threat Level to non-zero levels? Pshaw!"

My curmudgeon level was just lowered after seeing r/birding rallying around a post about someone unexpectedly seeing an usual, injured bird in Times Square NYC to find said bird, a Virginia Rail, because two volunteers from the National Bid Alliance (was Audubon) are actively searching for it to make sure it survives!

There were at least a dozen herons here. I’d been looking first at the water’s edge for herons hunting before spotting the first two herons up in the trees to the left of the water in the photo. Then I kept seeing heron after heron!

Oooh, my #Merlin #BirdOfTheDay is a California Scrub Jay! Might be the first day I manage to get this achievement!
I was hopeful yesterday since it was a Green Teal and I took Bertie for a walk by the Tualatin River and some wetlands. Not a single duck type avian anywhere!

We saw a pileated woodpecker on this weekend’s ramble! We went out to Kelley Point Park which lets you walk along the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.
