  1. It's old news now, but back on May 9 I participated in global big day, and really tried to put in an effort for the first time.

    I ended up putting in about 14 hours of birding in many different habitats. My tally for the day was 92 species, which is by far the highest number of species I have seen in a single day.

    One of my favourite encounters from the day was this Cooper's Hawk at White Lake, which was dining on what I suspect is a Brewer's Blackbird.

    I organized the day into an eBird trip report, for the curious...

  3. #GlobalBigDay today in Nicaragua, counting and bird lists are still being made but this handsome yellow-naped Amazon is just too pretty not to shade.

  5. In the actual yesterday I was not much lucky, but today have seen this beauty in .
    Unlike the ubiquitous Kramer parrots here, these ones are more rare and harder to find because of their far more modest behaviour.

  6. Oh my GLOB, Cornell Ornithology’s Birds of the World (their site with huge fully cited detailed entries on different bird species) is free today to celebrate #GlobalBigDay! I finally get to see a helpful précis of everything science knows about the Lewis’s Woodpecker, for instance! Maybe the details about bald eagle courtship I need are in here?! This is…definitely helping me get out of my house and count birds! 😅

  11. Scarlet Tanager ( Piranga olivacea) in Central Park, NY's The Ramble woodland area at yesterday's World Migratory Bird Day. It's worth mentioning that Scarlet and Summer Tanagers are not in the Tanager family (Thraupidae), but in the Cardinal group (Cardinalidae). #GlobalBigDay

  13. As my time zone shuts the book on this #GlobalBigDay, I wanted to post a few early favorites from my photos. My mom and I walked around 3.5 miles today and counted 125 birds of 28 species.

    Here are four of ‘em! Two kinds of nuthatch, a noisy corvid, and the absolute star of the day: this particular, sadly lovelorn Lewis’s Woodpecker. 💚❤️🌲:sapsucker:

  15. Had a rare visitor to my feeder just in time for the Cornell Lab's #GlobalBigDay today! It's been years since I've seen a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Lots of activity from the usual suspects, including the Bluebird mom who would just like to eat in peace without the paparazzi please??? She's so busy raising her babies and competing with the Grackles right now. I felt bad for bothering her.

  17. Super proud of our #pasopacifico team and the many collaborators who helped record at least 317 bird species and making 79 birding lists during #GlobalBigDay outings all across Nicaragua. #ebird

  18. The birds don’t care that it’s #GlobalBigDay, the birds don’t care that it’s Global Big Day, I repeat to myself before going outside to count and report all the birds I see.

    (2 minutes later) “HAPPY GLOBAL BIG DAY, CROW!” 😁

  22. On the eve of #GlobalBigDay I got sucked into reading something on the bird site only to be recommended a post by an eBird reviewer who was essentially putting down (using the words f and hate) all the amateur birders and their amateur way of birding. This is why I need to stick with Mastodon, and also why I am posting to eBird less frequently. Birding and enjoying nature is the one place where I would rather not feel judged and hated on.
