I got to see a mannikan in Panama not too long ago. Beautiful, sweet bird. Nice shot!

#Birding #BirdoftheDay So comical with their Elvis coifs and bright orange beaks and shrill calls. I love when they hang out on the beach in flocks. A flock of terns is called a committee. Just what they look like. #FourOrMore

#NoBranch birds. Here's a snowy plover with its ID bands on. Crazy, but ATV's and cars are allowed to drive on the beach here. So I'm always especially heartened to see these plovers.

#BirdoftheDay #Birding #Birdphotography I had to look up #borb but it sounds just like what it is. Here's a pear-shaped black phoebe resting for a moment in the sunlight. #OM1markii

Haha! And why can't they sit still in good light?

#BirdoftheDay #Birding #Birdphotography To me this looks like a molting Great Blue Heron. I call him "Old Man and the Sea." But then I was told it's a juvenile with #Ruffledfeathers Anyone able to confirm?

#Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #BirdoftheDay Brown pelican definitely in its element. Does it look like maybe he's eyeing me suspiciously? #BirdsintheirElement

Yes, and there’s so little glory and fame to be had. ;-)

Thank you Cory! I guess you’ve seen that I love writing about birds on my blog. I’m working on a novel now about regret with vignettes of birds threaded throughout. Thanks again for your kind words!
