I’d been hoping to run into one of this town’s preeminent birders for some time now. It finally happened, but it didn’t go well at all. Which was disappointing.

Posting a cute Carolina Wren in lieu of the Winter Wren I couldn’t catch with my iPhone. Second year in a row I’ve seen a solitary Winter, weirdly in the same spot.

White crowned sparrows have kind of taken over SF. I’ve never seen so many.

Back in Louisiana for a bit. Nice greeting from turtle frens. But also having Boxes out during mid-November is a little concerning.

Seeing if I can shift back over here.

I love tree frogs. Hopefully this one is avoiding the ribbon snakes that are still out!

These have red eyes… so white-faced ibis right?

He’s up to something.

So many snow egrets and baby ibis today! I love wading birds so much.

It’s not her fault it’s hotter than the surface of the sun outside right now. I think baby box deserves a blueberry or two today.

My cosmos are starting to bloom. So far most are gold and yellow. A lot of plants that I could grow back in CA don’t do so well here so this is a nice surprise.

Great blue herons do NOT like having their pictures take. Great egrets usually like to pose.

This is… large.

Who doesn’t love lots of cattle egrets?

Ok… I’m kind of freaking out. I drove mom through the park and there… was a Tricolored Heron (!!!) hanging with a Little Blue, Great and Snowy Egret. I have never seen one and was just posting about them. Just an unbelievably gorgeous bird. They are really tiny!

One summer, years ago, we came across this box turtle in our neighborhood that looked like it had been run all the way over by a car, healed completely, and gone on to thrive. They're like little tanks. 🐢

This sunning skink was unusually iridescent today. It doesn’t show up well. But.. skink!

Yay! Gloria is here!
Hello Blue Sky! Here's a Blue Bird pic as my first post: Belted Kingfisher, the ABA Bird of the Year! #birds #birding #beltedkingfisher

Tricolored Herons are exceedingly rare in this part of Louisiana. Which is weird given they were called Louisiana Herons when I was a kid. They should show up in the marshes soon. I’ve never seen one! Maybe this year?

The wood storks are back apparently! Time for a marsh trip?
