Always a joy to find a local Dusky Flycatcher in SoCal on spring migration pausing briefly before heading north

Someone left the cake out in the rain...again. MacArthur Park (my favorite local gull spot) ponies up another Japanese surprise on a wet New Years Eve. I did immensely enjoy finding this 3rd cycle Vega Gull.

Rain took a break long enough for me to check the local gull flock and enjoy this lovely Thayer’s

Sometimes you can dream about finding a particular vagrant so often that it actually materializes - this morning’s Red-throated Pipit at the top of the old landfill in Griffith Park Los Angeles

Birders will be scouring coasts, valleys and headlands in the coming weeks as they search for North American landbirds. The Empidonax flycatchers are some of the most prized vagrants of all. Buy now: bit.ly/4fJebou #birdguides #books #birdbooks #birding #birdwatch

One of the highlights with @CinTyLeeEarth at the biggest week event in Ohio was a wonderful thunder storm that rolled in but it didn’t deter the singing red-winged blackbirds - oil on canvasboard

Field Guide to North American Flycatchers: Kingbirds and Myiarchus This slim volume is packed with data and nuanced criteria, says David Callahan, and would be a fine addition to any ringer's or rarity hunter's library: bit.ly/4dFQ2y9
