Raptor Wednesday
Originally posted on Backyard and Beyond:
What a racket! Twice recently I’ve come across a storm of American Robins sounding their strident chip alarms. A perching Red-tailed Hawk was the source of the commotion both times. In this second case, a buzzing Northern Mockingbird was in on it, too, repeatedly razzing, sometimes even clipping, the big raptor. When the hawk flew out, the Mockingbird stayed… Continue reading Raptor Wednesday

And given the immense heat and we witnessed this summer, I didn’t expect any birds in the region. But my joy had no bounds when I saw these magnificent beings come down… Continue reading

Originally posted on The Experienced Intermediate Birder:

Some more early morning birding, and it was nice to get some reward in the guise of a simply stunning male Whinchat. They are a jewel of a bird, a bit like a mini jazzed-up Wheatear, with their lovely orange tones, white super and tail pattern. This bird was feeding with 2 male Wheatears on the same patch of… Continue reading Sexy Saxicola
