Hi, everyone! I'm a disabled, currently nomadic birder. In 2024, I've birded around 40 US states. I volunteer with a couple non-profit access, inclusion, and conservation orgs. I was in the right spot at the right time and found the ABA's second Crane Hawk on Jan 29th, 2024

A dark raptor in flight with a totally blue sky behind. This bird is a deep gray with a graphite colored bill and red eyes. It has very long, yellow legs. It's long tail alternates from white at the base, to black, to white, and back to black with a small white terminal band at the tip. The same raptor from image one but with its wings totally spread. The underwing is mottled almost black and gray with white crescents on the inner part of the primary feathers. Its tail is mostly spread and the bands of white and black are apparent. The same raptor from images one and two. This time it is a side view with the wings down. The white crescents are barely visible. Its yellow feet are tucked under the tail. The same raptor from previous images. In this image, the wings are half open with the white crescents, bill, red eye, tail, and yellow legs are apparent against an all blue sky.

Although not bird related, I wanted to share this moment with everyone who finds awe in nature. Currently watching this beautiful display in Wisconsin. Enjoy🐦

I was close enough to Destin that my love for Gulls drew me to the coast to check out the gorgeous Gray Gull. This bird is usually only found on the Pacific Coast of South America and breeds in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Very cool vagrant.

New floofy chonk just dropped. It has been amazing watching while these birds bulk up to cross the Gulf. Soon, they will be gone and we'll await their return in Spring. Migration is the greatest show on Earth. Safe travels, little (but not THAT little) one🐦

The portrait camera of a Birdfy 2 Pro tracking this very molty Carolina Wren. Could be a young one coming into adult plumage but molty nonetheless.

Atlantic (and a bonus Tufted) Puffin!

Two Atlantic Puffin are in flight just over the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. One Puffin has its wings down, the other up. An Atlantic Puffin in flight over the blurred surface of the Atlantic Ocean. It is facing to the right of the image. An Atlantic Puffin in flight with its wings down. Blue sky is the entire background. A Tufted Puffin is flanked by an Atlantic Puffin on its left and right.

Puffin mission accomplished. The second day came with 🌞 but also with pretty massive swells. A Tufted Puffin made an appearance as well. Not a bird I was expecting in the Atlantic.

I did this on the cheap. I relied on friends I've made in the birding world, my vehicle, and only stayed 3 nights in a hotel. (Other than bird shows). Some states I spent over a month, others only a day. Now for what's next🤷‍♂️
