Yeah we did it. The Hallmark #birding movie with #homemade spicy margs, #canned salsa & #pickled jalapeños, and #friends. No better way to spend a #furlough Wednesday. And yes, he will be a very successful birding guide with those binoculars. ❤️

At it again with At Ease Brewing and the Central Valley Bird Club! No Kings, only Kinglets. #birding #beer #birdsandbrews

Today was a good day to recharge. ❤️

We’re so deeply uncool here in Sacramento that we only gave him a 15-story-tall mural. 🥲

Brent and I thoroughly enjoyed the #Sacramento #Archive Crawl yesterday! We visited the Stanley Mosk #Library & Courts Building, the State Archives, and the Sacramento Room at the Central Library. We’ll definitely attend next year!

Obligatory beaver statue selfie after presenting at American River College’s Intro to Ornithology class this morning. Thanks to the humidity for giving my hair quite the frizz. 😂🦫🦅

I love that a local #sushi restaurant prominently features #heron beakspear artwork alongside our CA Central Valley ricelands that provide both quality sushi #rice and heron habitat. I also love that I feel the need to share this with one of my absolutely favorite follows, @everyheron.bsky.social ❤️

A local festival about food but also with amazing music? Okay, #sacramento ❤️

Sometimes you need a little push to get out there. Like uncommon shorebirds at the wastewater treatment plant! 🥳 Baird’s Sandpiper that kept sinking into the mud. Solitary Sandpiper dining alone. Greater vs Lesser Yellowlegs. #birds #birding

Why yes, we did just watch 2+ hours of a robot apocalypse puppet musical. How was your Sunday? 🤖🎶😂

Galls are pretty much the coolest. Red cone #gall wasp on Valley #oak and saucer gall wasp on blue oak. ❤️

One more day of #birding before heading to the airport! The Five-Striped Sparrow now qualifies as a nemesis. 🥲 Guess I have to come back! Lifer Red-faced Warbler isn’t a bad consolation prize. 🥰 Also caught a Painted Redstart en déshabillé post-bath. 🤭

Sparrows today at the #SEAZbirdfest in Box Canyon! Singing Black-throated and Botteri’s. Distant look at a singing Rufous-winged for a lifer! We finally turned a Turkey Vulture into a Zone-tailed Hawk. Sibling love at the Thick-billed Kingbird nest. Skunked by Five-striped Sparrow…twice. 🥲 #birding

Night #birding last night in Madera Canyon with the #SEAZbirdfest. We had a great hummingbird show before sunset, with 8 species including this Rivoli’s. We heard both Whiskered Screech-Owl and Mexican Whip-poor-will! On the drive back our guide spotted a bebe western diamondback on the road. 🦉🐍❤️

Today was #birding close to the border at Walker Canyon and Pena Blanca Lake. Monsoon season has been dry and temps are warm, keeping the #bird activity down. Common Black Hawk was a nice year bird. And I always enjoy a Green Heron. #SEAZbirdfest

The #SEAZbirdfest Big Day field trip crew, including our record-breaking species number 117, Great Egret! We went on to add Wood Duck and a surprise afternoon Great Horned Owl for a grand total of 119 #birds on the day. Thanks to our leader Alex Lamoreaux from Wildside Nature Tours!

A little slow up Madera Canyon on the #SEAZbirdfest big day field trip. But we added some #birds for 92 species so far! And I finally got my Gjon for the year! ❤️

Box Canyon on the #SEAZbirdfest big day field trip! Finally some #bird shots for you. Thick-billed Kingbird delivering a snack to its nest. Pretty bad photo of a pretty good bird: Varied Bunting. 😅

Scoping for sparrows on the #SEAZbirdfest big day field trip at Las Cienegas. Black-throated, Botteri’s, Cassin’s, Grasshopper, and Lark. #birding

Good morning from the #SEAZbirdfest Big Day field trip! Started off with Snow Goose, Lesser Nighthawk, and three species of swallows in a Tucson park. #birding

Went out for a bit today. Nothing against the #birds, but I’m not sure I can just call it #birding with the other things I saw. 🤷‍♀️
