Black-throated sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata) by @onlyveesaz 🤵🏻‍♂️

Despite the boldly marked face, Black-throated Sparrows can be easy to overlook if they are not perched in the open. Their desert-washed bodies and quiet songs and calls can be hard to locate, but sound is often the best way to find them, especially when they try to mimic big cotton balls as pictured here 🤭

Are you at the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival?

Tomorrow, Friday, at 11:30am, Birding magazine contributor Mike Henry will give a talk entitled "Sharpening Your Editing Skills: Lightroom Mobile Basics."

Mike is an incredible photography talent and really good at explaining things in an understandable way, so the talk will surely be excellent. If you're around, don't miss it! Among his other accolades, Mike is an ABA Ambassador and other ABA Ambassadors will likely also be present, so this will be a good opportunity to meet them.

Swipe to see more of Mike's photos, including his Birding magazine cover.

Conservation starts at home! Join myself and @thecactuschirp for a morning birding outing at Papago park. We’ll be in the footprint of Hole in the Rock where we can ponder the birds plants and geology of the valley and our connection to them - all in community.

Make a friend or don’t. Learn bird calls or don’t. You get to have the experience you want - birding will be facilitated though.

Optional hang at Hole in the Rock or one of the ramadas based on vibes.

Everyone is welcome, from beginner to expert. Check out a spotting scope, some field guides, binoculars, @team_ebird @merlin.bird.id

Accessibility details - restroom on site, some paved paths some unpaved with moderate grading. Mobility tools welcome. Water and snacks available. Conversation optional.

You are welcome to show up, though we prefer you sign up at maricopabirdalliance.org. Signups help us know how many snacks and resources to bring

An incredible day in the cool kids club! The inaugural meeting of the Baby Birders (under the age of 65) was a success-- then immediately jumped into chase mode when a Kentucky Warbler was reported!
