This encounter served as a good reminder that birdwatching isn't just about checking species off a list. It's about observing nature's patterns and understanding the exceptions - like a mother duck delaying her migration to care for her young.

Local birders told us these ducks usually winter here but leave by mid-March as the weather warms. Just as we wondered why this one stayed behind, we noticed the reason—a small, downy duckling paddling closely behind.

On a late March morning at a quiet reservoir in Moganshan—a misty, bamboo-covered mountain region in eastern China—we spotted something unexpected: a spot-billed duck, still lingering in the water when it should have already migrated north.

What a beautiful shot of the Spotted Towhee! I love their calls too – they have such a distinctive and melodic range. I actually snapped a photo of one last year as well

This is such an amazing shot! I’m honestly amazed at how this Pygmy Nuthatch is standing on the tree—its legs and the ground look perfectly parallel!

Today, we can only hear the last call of the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō through historical recordings. If you'd like to listen to its final call, you can find it in the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (search 'Kauai Oo').
