    Your Most Recent "Life" Bird

    A Red-vented Bulbul on October 11, 2021 along Buffalo Bayou in Houston TX. A small population presumably originating from released or escaped birds has established itself in our neighborhood.

    I don't know many were moving about, but I saw at least 4. They were moving very quickly from twig to branch in the thicket. I have to assume we both failed to see some other major feature because we agree on what we saw, and it makes no sense. The Northern Mockingbirds are EVERYWHERE right...

    Bald Eagle sighting in Austin TX in May??

    I'm an experienced birder, so this isn't guesswork, but I am really stumped. I've been in "lockdown" mode at a friend's place in Hill Country northwest of Austin TX since mid-March. I've seen nearly all of the typically seen resident and migrating raptors for this time of year. But night...
