Absolutely gobsmacked to witness massive raptor migration near Panama City this morning. Probably the most birds I've ever seen in my life! The video doesn't do it justice, there were clouds of them moving through. Nature is amazing. #birds #flyways

Driving back down to the airport to head home. Stopped off at Cowens Wildlife Refuge..I'm really lucky that work takes me to these places and really loved North Carolina.
Ended the trip on 82 birds for NC and 35 new for me!

A balmy 47c (116f) in Qatar at the moment! (Flying visit for work) Still tried to head out to do some birding in #albiddapark just as the sunset, unsurprisingly not much about other than usual. It's still 39c at 20:00. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
