My younger brother Dalton, and I trekked (well, drove) up to Yavapai County for a weekend of birding. Our targets were Mississippi Kite, Wood Duck (a very. Long overdue lifer), any owls, and Mexican Whip-poor-will. The forecast showed heavy thunderstorms, so we figured our birding might be compromised. We were having some crazy good luck. We continued on t...

Walker's birding experiences and adventures! Is It Possible To Bird Too Much? The Answer Is YE. Sunday, July 12, 2015. On July 10th, I contacted Tommy DeBardeleben. Let me preface this post with a caution:. This species is federally threatened. It is illegal to use playback or harass the owl in any way, including getting too close and remaining in the area for too long. Don't ask me where the locations of these owls are, I will not. We looked and looked, and the loud calls were driving us nuts! It was re...

Saturday, May 30, 2015. A Case of Flam Fever. One that always seems to get away? One that is smarter than the others? Flashlights can do some crazy things to people. We don't quite look like ourselves, but are still freaking awesome even in this lighting situation. Here's another picture of our trio! Look how freaky I look. It wasn't easy to spy even with lights on it but once we figured out where it was, the three of us had our first ever enjoyable looks at a Flammulated Owl. Luckily, the owl continued ...

In fact, I just got back from that trip, and it was awesome! It just came in! I've got it". I could see the weed patch from where I was, and there was that lovely Painted Bunting! It was really amazing how she was the same color as the weeds! This bird could really be overlooked quite easily, don't you think? I have a lot more search...

Tommy D's Birding Expeditions: August 2014
http://tommysbirdingexpeditions.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. Fun at the nearby Glendale Recharge Ponds. American Avocets are always a sight to see, whether in or not in breeding plumage. These noisy birds have been quite numerous at Glendale lately and have also molted in their non-breeding plumage for the most part. There are a few individuals who don't want to go out of breeding plumage quite yet. This photo makes for somewhat of a compare and contrast picture between the two plumages. On one of the days, I was photographing two Lesser...
