    Birding Round Rock, TX

    With a new job, a house requiring numerous projects, a toddler, and another one on the way, I've been focusing my birding largely within a 2-mile radius from home. I live in a quickly developing suburb, but fortunately, there are several islands of green scattered amongst the ever-expanding...

    What was your best birding trip?

    I'm counting down the days to my first international birding trip (T-minus 232 days!) to the Santa Marta Mountains of Colombia with some friends. My only birding-specific trips so far have been to the upper gulf coast and Rio Grande Valley of Texas with the same guys a few years ago (only a few...

    Birding SW France

    I am in the very beginnings of planning a family trip to France, perhaps next April but the dates are not yet set in stone. It will not be a birding-specific trip, but as always, I intend to sneak away here and there to fit some bird walks in. The general plan currently is to spend a few days in...

    Europeans, which American bird would you most like to see?

    Piggy-backing off the other thread, I have no idea which birds most attract Europeans to the states. Is it our common and widespread, yet still beautiful cardinals? The impossibly colorful painted bunting? Our national bird, the bald eagle? Something rare with a bizarre ritual, like sage grouse...

    A Day at Muyil

    I wanted to document my day birding the Muyil ruins, for myself more than anyone else, as it was among my most memorable days of birding. I'm an American and the only birding outside the ABA area I've done was in the USVI, so going to the Yucatan provided me an opportunity to add substantially...

    Gunnison Co.

    I'm heading to some property in Gunnison County between Pitkin and Hwy 50 the first week of October. I've birded some in the state but have a few targets, including pine grosbeak, dusky grouse and any of of rosy finches. If gunnison sage-grouse is at all doable in the fall, that would be awesome...

    Greater scaup?

    Birding at Lake Bridgeport in North Texas and saw these two ladies that I feel are greater scaup. I'm much more familiar with lesser so hoping to get some confirmation.

    EBird Global Big Day

    Anybody got big plans for this tomorrow, or I guess today in a lot of the world? I've birded on past big days, but tomorrow will be my first time birding from sunrise to (nearly) sunset. I'm going to try and hit most of the hotspots in my county here in north Texas and am hoping for something in...

    Fort Worth Birding

    I'm moving from Houston to Fort Worth this summer. Any suggestions for good spots to start building my Tarrant county list or to find birds that may not be as common closer to the coast? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
