send Olive-sided Flycatcher vibes to Green-wood cemetery (my first time here!). probably my best odds for a lifer this morning in brooklyn

lower odds lifer targets: Willow Flycatcher, Mourning Warbler, and Black-billed Cuckoo

chasing one of our chickens out of our garden and hollering “DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS!? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I’M EATING!?” at it as i scarf down several bites of chicken nugget in the brief time it took me to close the distance

I found a rare (in Florida) Golden-winged Warbler in Gainesville today…and it’s my 266th species observed in our county this year, which sets a new local big year record!

I think it could be an inland-only county big year record for the Eastern US too 👀

This year has been absolutely absurd

Here in Gainesville, Hurricane Idalia brought us the first ever friggin AMERICAN FLAMINGO ever seen in this county. One of the many wild birds blown in to our region by the storm!

today I found the first BAIRD’S SANDPIPER seen in the Florida peninsula this year, and only the 2nd time a Baird’s has ever been seen in my county! It’s only the 3rd one seen on the east coast this year (1 seen in NC in May, 1 in NH in May)

A lifer for me

saw my first ABA code 5 rare bird—a wayward Large-billed Tern!—“one of the classic birds of Amazonian waterways”

It’s only the 4th one seen in the US and the 1st ever in Florida when it was found last month! The most recent prior US sighting was 35 years ago 🤩 https://ebird.org/checklist/S143762634

I just want to be on the platform that’s most hostile to fascists/conservatives, grifters, and cranks

Threads was bound to be dogshit. Bluesky’s obviously has a long way to go to match up to twitter in its prime but the vibes here are good and nothing Zuck put out was gonna match our vibes

Roxy’s hummingbird cake tastes absolutely phenomenal and the fact that it turned out so good in spite of our fucked up and barely-functional air conditioning in this brutal Florida summer…DAMN
Not too shabby for an 80 degree kitchen

today I was awarded the trophy for winning 1st place in the 2023 Alachua County (FL) June Challenge—a local friendly birding competition of who can see the most bird species in our county throughout the month

The previous record was 129; this June I saw 146 species. OBLITERATED the record lol
