Makes me laugh every time. Can we add some seasoning to our bird names please?

A joyful group β€œUsie” of birders smiling on a sunny day at The Biggest Week in American Birding. Everyone is gathered closely on a paved path surrounded by lush greenery. The person in front is holding the camera and smiling broadly, wearing a camouflage shirt and tan cap. Binoculars and birding gear are visible throughout the group, capturing the excitement and community spirit of the event.

Wrapping up my time at @biggestweekbirding.bsky.social with a heart full of gratitude and joy. I truly can’t think of a better way to leave Ohio than spending the morning birding with such an incredible group of people. My Bird Joy cup is full. Thank you and Happy birding, friends! #WiscoBirder πŸͺΆ

One of my favorite things about spring migration is hearing a song/call that’s familiar but not immediately being able to place it, then seeing the bird and everything snapping back into place.

It feels like running into an old friend. It makes me so damn happy. It’s the fucking best.

These Emerald Starlings, today's featured bird on the eBird homepage, are completely perfect.

No notes, no revisions.

Having an incredible time in Assam, India. I can see things back home are tenuous. Looking forward to getting back more inspired to keep doing work in my community.
Thanks to the homie James for the photo.

Having an incredible time in Assam birding with some homies. A friend spotted the first ever sighting of a Blue-and-white Flycatcher for this region! Was able to snap this photo of it.
