Birding With Caleb: September 2014
http://birdingwithcaleb.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 21, 2014. On September 15th it was my golden birthday and I turned 15. I ended my 14th year with 316 life birds and was pumped! Once we were done looking at all of the songbirds and a Bald Eagle we headed down to the lake shore to look for the shorebirds, waterfowl, and hopefully some gulls or terns. While my Mom and I walked along the shore a Semipalmated Plover flew by us calling and landed not to far, that's when I took this photo. The bird was my lifer Sabine's Gull! However, there ...

Birding With Caleb: January 2015
http://birdingwithcaleb.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2015. A fun family trip to California. You will have to read to find out! As I continued looking around I was able to get a few more birds but no FOYs. We then went off to get lunch at a local restaurant when I spied a familiar shoulder from across a main road. It was Mr. Red-shouldered Hawk! These two birds brought my year list up to 299. But once I looked to the right of the BOGU I could see another gull that was not just my 300th bird of the year but a lifer! After spending seve...

Birding With Caleb: April 2015
http://birdingwithcaleb.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. When the Ponds Recharge in Glendale. There was also a one-day-wonder Red-breasted Merganser that I identified. He was hanging with his ruddy's not his peeps. RBME don't hang with peeps! Red-breasted Merganser-1st winter male, note the dark green forehead. The impressive Snowy Egrets seemed to be showing off their awesomeness but the Great Horned Owls seemed unimpressed (like always). Great Horned Owl- Adult on left fledgling on right. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. The first two th...

Birding With Caleb: March 2015

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. A Blast From the Past: Deep Within the Jungle. Okay, so the title of this post might make you think "Oh my gosh, did Caleb go to Panama? Did he go out of the Country? We then stealthily swam down the stream a little ways when we looked up about twenty feet above our heads and there it was, my lifer Yellow-billed Cuckoo! Yellow-billed Cucckoo- Find Waldo! I then saw a promising grove of sycamores, willows, and cottonwoods so I hobbled over to the middle of the stand and just stare...

Birding With Caleb: November 2014
http://birdingwithcaleb.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 24, 2014. A couple of recent and awesome IBA counts. Before we started the IBA count in the Arlington WA area, we took a quick stop by the Lower River Road Ponds. The two ponds had many birds with the west pond having lots of mudflats which resulted in lots of peeps. As we scanned through the Least Sandpipers we were able to find one Western Sandpiper. Can you pick him out? There were also three Canvasbacks. See those gray dots? Before we knew it our IBA count was over, but after a stop ...

Birding With Caleb: October 2014
http://birdingwithcaleb.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Exploring the Prescott area. Prescott is a very nice area to bird. It has lots of habitats and with many habitats come many birds! We were only the 2nd car in the parking lot when we arrived, but that changed pretty quickly! There were bikers, hikers, and I even ran into Yavapai's eBird reviewer Steven Burk. While we were walking along the main trail I spied this mannequin taking a rest against a building! Here is a photo of a female and male. One out of two booya! There was a ...

Thursday, June 18, 2015. My First Young Birder's Camp- The Chiricahua's (Part 1). A few months ago I was informed that on the AZNM Listserve there was going to be a young birder's camp to the Chiricahua Mountains in SEAZ, of course I jumped at the opportunity and thanks to Mr. Tom Hildebrandt, Mr. Joe Ford, and my parents I was able to go! I was ecstatic to see a lifer before the camp even started! Walker and I spent a lot of time during camp at the hummingbird feeders in search of the best photo opportu...
