    Red-backed Junco Seperate Species

    Hey every one! I'm dying to add the Red-backed Junco to my Life List, but unlike some other birds that I've gone ahead to seperate for my Life List, I want votes on this one. I know many birders probably don't wait for official splits, and go ahead to do it themselves, because it's their...

    The Chair of Pyrr?! Nobody Told Me About The Chair of Pyrr!

    Hey everyone! Like the new blog cover photo? I really think the color scheme of this new cover goes better with my blog page, plus, I'm a Costa's Hummingbird kind of guy, I've made that clear. Nothing against the Anna's, but for 1, this pose is EPIC!! For 2, the Costa's Hummingbird is now one of...

    NOT the TIMELINE SERIES: XTREME Costa's Hummer Pix!

    Hi all! I've been slacking on posting lately, because I'm busy with homeschool. Today, however, I was done before noon, so I went outside for fresh air. Just so you know, the TIMELINE series has NOT ended, it's just I'm having trouble remembering exactly what happened on these endeavors, and...

    TIMELINE SERIES: February 16th 2017, I Saw 3 LIFERS On The Way To School...

    I don't think I've ever seen even just 1 lifer on the way to school, except, I miracuously saw 3 on Febuary 16th, and ALL members of Calcariidae... My NBB (non-birder brother), Brian, was driving me to school on Feb. 16th, 2017. A couple minutes from our house, there's a small experimental...

    TIMELINE SERIES: July 22nd 2017, DENALI HIGHWAY!

    Hello Kingbirds! If y'll have checked out my Alaska Photo Gall, then you know of Denali Highway! The views are BREATHTAKING right? I guess that's a rhetorical question. Denali Highway IS BREATHTAKING! No question about it. What I haven't told you you about Denali Highway, I hit one of Alaska's...

    TIMELINE SERIES: August 13-14 2016, My FIRST Rarity Chase!

    Hi all! The word "rarity" intimidated me when I was 14. I thought surely if it was casual or accidental, I would NEVER see it, or it would be highly unlikely. Well now after chasing an accidental, I know now that casuals and accidentals are just as obtainable as any common bird. Rare bird...

    TIMELINE SERIES: August 27-28 2016, Yellow-billed-Chicka-Merg-Duck!

    Hi everyone! I was thinking of doing the posts chronologically, but I really want to start with some of the more memorable posts first. I've kind of given myself a headache trying to remember all the buildup that came before the lifers in early 2016. This story, however, is definitely impossible...

    TIMELINE SERIES: Duck, Duck, GOOSE, and a cool Duck...

    It was a sunny day in May, 2016... A walk around Reflections Lake was agreed upon. Reflections Lake is an interesting birding location, because a lot of times it is dreadfully boring, but then there are times it hands out great lifers like free candy! Because of its usually dreadfully boring...

    Please view my blog!

    Hello fellow BF members! I haven't posted on the forum in a while, but now I'll do so a lot more often. A lot has happened since my last post. For one, I've moved to Glendale, AZ from Alaska via car (yeah, that's a long drive, but i wasn't the one driving)! Also, 3 birds away from 300 species...

    Which grebe bobs its head?

    2 days ago at a lodge at the Denali Highway I saw a baby grebe on a lake nearby, it was light gray on the flanks, and medium gray on the back. Its head was relatively small, so the rare Pied-billed Grebe doesn't seem to fit. Its neck was thick and stout, and at this time of year the extremely...

    Can you ID a Red-shouldered Hawk if you don't see it?

    During a 7 hour layover in Portland, OR, I went to a place called Holliday Park. I heard what sounding like a gull, but after consulting the local Audubon website, I found that Red-shouldered Hawk matched what I heard! Unfortunately I never saw the bird, so how do I know if it's really a...
