Today was a snow day in Salem! This did not phase the Bushtits one bit.

A Monday after-work dash to Corvallis to find the tail-pumping, fetching Palm Warbler! Success! Beautiful evening followed by pizza with birding sister @ibrake4botany! Species 244! #palmwarbler #setophagapalmarum #oregonbirds #oregonbigyear

August 25, while looking for Gray-crowned Rosy-finches, I finally got a Olive-sided Flycatcher! Crater Lake National Park.

Two puffin species in one month! Coast to coast! I just saw the Tufted Puffins yesterday at Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Oregon, and on July 2, 2018, while on a family trip to Cape Breton, I saw the Atlantic Puffins! For my Oregon 2018 Big Year list, I’m now at 204! #oregonbigyear2018 #oregonbirding #novascotiabirds

Friday night at the sewage ponds! Common Loon is bird #200! Despite its name, it is not common here in Oregon during this time of the year. Visiting from Canada perhaps? #commonloon #Gaviaimmer #philomathsewageponds

Throwback to May 22 and to bird #184, the Pacific Golden-Plover at Baskett Slough National Wildlife Area.

Lower Falls, Lacamas Creek. Camas, WA.

Bushtits = tiny nuggets of pure joy! These birds are ubiquitous right now in Salem, and I happened to find a few active nests in our neighborhood.

Roseate Spoonbills in a wet field just north of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary! March 11, 2019. I did not think I would get this species so randomly but I’m so glad I did because I never saw them again in my trip! See my latest blog post for more photos and more waders at this special area.

Who’s that scrub-jay?! It’s the Florida Scrub-Jay! Fun fact: it’s endemic to Florida! Not-so-fun fact: it’s federally threatened primarily due to habitat loss. I was fortunate to see this species on March 10, 2019, with a handful of other birders at a very reliable spot in Cape Coral, Florida. I wrote all about it in my blog (see link in profile).

An American Bittern at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary just outside Naples, Florida. March 11, 2019. I found a local birding club called the Caloosa Bird Club who graciously allowed me to join on their field trip. For a full trip report, check out my blog.

A Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, one of my target Florida birds that was conveniently located along the Caloosahatchee River down the street from my parents’ winter neighborhood. March 8, 2018. For more Florida birding shenanigans, check out my blog (link in profile page).
