I really fell in love with Yellow-headed Blackbirds in Wyoming. The males let rip with a booming "arooooogah"! With prime turf, they can attract as many as eight females. 💛💛💛 #Blackbirds #Wyoming #birdsseenin2026

Not the best birder. Definitely not the best photographer. Usually in Central Park, but will travel for Timberdoodles! If you follow and repost a photo, I'll see you and follow back.
One steamy July morning I encountered Flaco sleeping in Central Park, his wings spread in an effort to keep cool. One of my favorite Flaco shots! #Flaco #Internationalowlawarenessday #birding

Sadly, it was raining both days we visited the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary on the banks of the Mississippi. But having this Indigo Bunting serenade me made it all worthwhile! 💙💙💙 #IndigoBunting #Riverlands #birdsseenin2026

Wow! Only my second sighting ever of a Dickcissel! Spotted along the banks of the Mississippi near St. Louis at the impressive Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary. This handsome male was vigorously defending its territory. #Dickcissel #Riverlands #birdsseenin2026

Birding at Hasty Lake in Colorado revealed a pair of White-faced Ibises. This is a non-breeding adult, which is why it doesn't have a white face! Still a remarkable looking bird! 🥰🥰🥰 #Ibis #Coloradobirding #birdsseenin2026

While birding in eastern Colorado, I saw these birds flying toward me. I fired off a few shots but never expected any to turn out. Well, I was wrong! A pair of Greater Yellowlegs! I've certainly never gotten these birds in flight! 😎😎😎 #Yellowlegs #Colorado #birdsseenin2026
Such an amazing shot 😍

Of course we're birding a little on the way back to NYC and stopped by the John Martin Reservoir in eastern Colorado. We were greeted by a pair of Mississippi Kites! I had no idea they migrate down to Paraguay! 🪁🪁🪁 #Kites #Colorado #birdsseenin2026

🎉🎉🎉 Gotcha! Thrilled I was able to capture a red-shafted Northern Flicker in flight over the Lake Pueblo ponds yesterday. (I'm a huge fan of Flickers!) 🥰🥰🥰 #Flicker #Colorado #birdsseenin2026

Among the thousands of birds combing the briny waters of the Great Salt Lake were the occasional Black-necked Stilts. A striking bird and one of my favorite bird names! 😎😎😎 #Stilts #GreatSaltLake #birdsseenin2026

Went birding in Bicknell Bottoms, near Capitol Reef National Park, and on our way back ran into a couple of Western Tanagers. Seemed appropriate they were perched on barbed wire! 🥰🥰🥰 #Tanager #Utah #birdsseenin2026

Spotted a Rufous Hummingbird furiously defending a patch of Wild Sweet William near Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. These diminutive tyrants are among our most aggressive hummers! 😠😠😠 #Rufous #CapitolReef #birdsseenin2026

Among the thousands of Avocets, California Gulls and phalaropes along the Great Salt Lake were a couple of Long-billed Curlews. I've never seen one open its beak. My gawd! 😮😮😮 #Curlew #GreatSaltLake #birdsseenin2026
