Former economist focused on empirical methods and competition policy. Done with that. Done with a lot of stuff. I travel, bird, and make sure to have a good beer in my hand at the end of the day.
Best bird, possibly worst photo. While not a mega rarity, it was the best because I unexpectedly discovered it in a location that only had one sighting in the past.

These #birds are giving thanks that turducken is more meme than meal. Be thankful for the small things and spread your wings to offer gratitude to everyone.

I had never heard it this bird, though I was certain I recognized it. Then I noticed that Sibley lists the French and Spanish common names for the Painted Redstart and they refer to 'blanc'. I still laugh every time this card comes up.

Talk about 50 shades of gray ... I'm back on the Gulf Coast of Texas and trying to re-learn shorebirds in nonbreeding plumages. It feels a bit like cheating to rely on what is and is not expected to be present at this time of year. But it is what it is. #birds #addBirder
