I started using eBird to track my life list because of this white wagtail, wintering in SoCal 2023 I had a lifelist of ~120 then, so I resolved to find every bird before this wagtail rather than backlogging This Lewis’s woodpecker at mono lake park was one of the last remaining backlog targets /1

Why did the greater sage-grouse cross the road? To walk its beeb to the short sage brush on the other side!!! 😭📷🪶

Broad-tailed Hummingbird — surprise lifer! I originally misID this selasphora as Allen’s because I’ve never seen a broad-tailed hummer before I knew Allen’s range would be extremely rare here this time of year, so I studied my photos longer and def didnt see Allen’s as I suspected Lifer! Woohoo!🪶

One nice thing about social media is that it taught me to appreciate birdwatching, which is dry on paper but when you see these moments you get it

This was one of the first moments I encountered at Mono Lake County Park! A juvenile red-breasted sapsucker sucking bugs from its parent! FY 📷🪶

Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the bird and nature photographers I follow. Not only are your photos fantastic but it’s so nice to have a space where if I’m feeling a bit glum, I can just open an app and BAM! There’s a picture of a good little guy! You rule, keep on doing what you do! #birds
