Fewer than 1,000 King Shags exist in the world, entirely on the islands of the Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand.

So excited for this new original art from Dan Derbyshire…maybe the largest Least Sandpiper ever?

Eye contact with an Albatross. There's nothing like it.

Flame-faced Warbler, a completely fictional bird. What bird do you wish was real?

Incredible to see Massachusetts' first Lesser (Siberian) Sand-Plover today, found yesterday. One of about a dozen all-time records for eastern North America 🤯 ebird.org/checklist/S1473489…

Incredible experience on Cape Cod today with Massachusetts' first Mountain Plover in 107 years.

Today we saw a QUARTER MILLION warblers fly past Tadoussac, Quebec. >85,000 Bay-breasted Warblers, and >50,000 each of Cape May and Yellow-rumped Warblers. Full details, photos, and video here: ebird.org/checklist/S1391530… – at Tadoussac, Québec

Over 100,000 warblers in Tadoussac today, and still going at 1000/minute. Absolute heaven.

Unreal morning of birding above Los Angeles today: more than 20,000 warblers flying through Bear Divide: ebird.org/checklist/S1341191…

If you didn't catch the livestream discussion of the identification of the new hybrid shorebird I discovered last week (White-rumped x Semipalmated Sandpiper), you can check out a recording here: youtu.be/vLG_w-JbaWw

CAPE VERDE SHEARWATER offshore of Chatham, Massachusetts this morning. First Mass and apparent 2nd North American record. Killer spot by Jeremiah Trimble on our little boat of 5. I’ll talk about the discovery and identification live on Sunday 14 August at twitch.tv/thebirdsguy

Discovered a *never before seen* #shorebird this week in Massachusetts (pictured here on left). Any guesses? I'll talk about this bird live on 10 Aug at 7p Eastern at twitch.tv/thebirdsguy

Summer birding on Martha’s Vineyard—nearly 3,000 Roseate Terns 😳🤯 #birds #birding @MassAudubon @ABA @thetrustees

I haven’t been streaming for the last few weeks…thankfully it’s just been due to being on the road for work and birding (like pictured here, in Tadoussac, Quebec). Going to try to get going again in the next few weeks. What fun birds have you been seeing?

Spring in the plains...Dickcissel singing in a flowery sea.

Swainson's Warblers can really belt it out, this one near Memphis, Tennessee

The motionlessness of a thrush—watching for the next meal. Wood Thrush, Texas.

Prothonotary Warbler is an incredible living lemon. This one was feeding and singing in a parking lot, and is perched on my car in this video!

American Redstarts flash their wings and tails while feeding, thought to startle insect prey so the redstarts can find them easier. Have you seen any redstarts this month?
