Sometimes all you want to do is stand on a rock and watch the water. #AmericanOysterCatcher #birdsky #birding #birdphotography

As much as I love Winter, I am looking forward to Spring when it’s easier to sit by my parents’ feeder and just watch. #birdsky #birdphotography #birding #WhiteBreastedNuthatch

Is this a #GreaterScaup or #LesserScaup? Am I missing the obvious characteristics? Taken on the north shore of Long Island, NY in July. #birdID #birding #birdsky

Raptors can be cute too! #HispaniolanKestrel or #AmericanKestrel? Has there been enough evidence to establish it as its own subspecies? Falco sparverius dominicensis #birding #birdsky #birdphotography #ornithology

I was excited to find not one, but a huge flock of #blackskimmer near my home last summer. As a novice birder, I thought they would be too “exotic” to find in the north east. That’s why I’ve quickly fallen in love with birding, there are amazing species everywhere! #birding #birdsky
