I wish I was into birding when we went to Alaska, we saw so many bald eagles and puffins, it was life changing

 

The concept of wild horses is mind boggling to me, it's just not a thing sound here. On the flip side, I live on a river and there's a bald eagle nest on it and I see them hunting and fishing daily.

15 new birds is awesome for a trip! Leaves you with more to see, but still enough to appreciate all the new life you've seen.

 

I guess technically they're 'feral' horses since they still have caretakers that come and give them hay and whatnot.

Our guide was going into details about how one horse had been trying to get his own harem for years and how another horse got its name because of the marks on his face and so forth. Lots of lore to learn

 

The brodies are back!

 

yooo where did you get the feeder and what kind of seed you using??

 

Lowe’s I think and hello birds “wild bird blend”. Wood peckers just pick out the sun flower seeds

 

Downy woodpecker

 

Woodpecker City over here

 

tell me more

 

the first is a Eurasian bullfinch

the second is a Nashville warbler

 

I've seen the Nashville Warbler! Wish I could see the Bullfinch. Alas, I'll have to cross leagues of water to do so

 

Gouldian finch

beautiful bird

 

a damn squirrel bypassed my baffle today. took more than a year for one of them to figure it out

 

Quick fix it before they tell every other squirrel. I swear they have meetings on how to bypass them.

 

unfortunately we're moving at the end of the month and it's to a new development in the middle of nowhere and there are NO trees. everyone just has saplings since all the houses are new so I can't see there even being squirrels

 

bummer

 

red-billed leiothrix

 

yellow-breasted Bunting

 

Didn’t have my camera or binocs with us so camera phone didn’t get a good pic, but we saw a Scarlet Tanager yesterday

 

Jealous!! I've only seen Summer Tanagers around here

 

This heron was hanging out on the river for hours yesterday. Completely okay with the kayakers and paddlers going by.

 

Herons are so majestic
