Oh how we love #SpringMigration when it brings in beauties like the #NorthernParula Saw this beauty on the weekly Tuesday morning Linnaean Society Central Park walk. Go online to register to attend - it’s free!

Northern Parulas eat spiders and many kinds of insects, particularly caterpillars. You can see this one has some little critter in its bill. Always happy to get an eating shot!

Can't stop, won't stop wanting to hear the #BlackburnianWarbler singing those sweet sweet songs of #HotBirdSummer!

The male has intricate black-and-white plumage set off by a flame-orange face and throat. They are seldom seen at eye-level outside of migration and it was such a thrill to see them landing in the Sabine Woods after flying across the gulf from South America where they spend our winter. These birds frequent shade-coffee plantations so be sure to only purchase bird-friendly coffee beans to protect this magnificent beauty.

Conservation Status: May be especially vulnerable to loss of wintering habitat, with the cutting of forest at mid-levels in mountains in the tropics. (@AudubonSociety)

The #GoldenWingedWarbler is one of the most beautiful warblers. I was thrilled to see this #LifeBird during Spring Migration in the Sabine Woods in SE Texas last year.
.
.
.
Conservation Status: The clearing of forests in the late 1800s created more of the second-growth habitat favored by this species. Today they are seriously declining in the southern part of the breeding range. Likely due to competition and interbreeding with the Blue-winged Warbler, also parasitism by cowbirds. (@audubon)

Hello friends!

I’m fundraising for the Great Gull Island Bird-A-Thon—and it also happens to be right around my birthday 🎉

I’d love your support in sponsoring me and my team, Quack Pack, as we bird our hearts out from May 2–3.

All funds go directly toward protecting critical breeding habitat for endangered terns in the Long Island Sound.

You can:
🐦 Pledge a dollar amount per species we find
💛 Or donate a flat amount

We’re aiming for around 60 species in 48 hours (depending on migration magic ✨)

Every bit helps—and it makes the birding even more fun and meaningful.

If you want a tax-deductible donation form for your contribution, I can give you directions on where to mail a check. If you want to make it easy, you can donate to the GoFundMe, and I'll take care of the rest. (But you won't get the tax form.)

GO FUND ME:
https://gofund.me/e6cce8510

Thank you so much for your support 💛

Hello Friends! Today is another birthday, another year in which I worry about the planet we leave behind for our children. What makes me feel more optimistic is making a contribution. So today, on my birthday, I'm asking you to help me contribute to one of my favorite countries in dire need of support. https://gofund.me/d0828c8b

When I traveled to Sri Lanka in 2018, I fell in love with its people, animals, and birds. Since then, I've worked to support a local scientist, naturalist, and climate change activist whom I met during my travels. He is working with local communities to educate, implement local conservation practices, and develop an eco-tourism industry to support locals while introducing Sri Lanka to the world. This island is a wonderland, a treasure filled with the most spectacular mammals and birds that need our support to survive the oncoming climate crisis.
Please donate today! $30 will make a world of difference, but any amount will help!
