So this happened... A Long-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus kingii) photobombing an Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) 🤯

Here’s the full video of the Oncilla being photobombed by a Long-tailed Sylph hummingbird. I’m still pinching myself after this remarkable encounter! #BirdTwitter

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Israel for Champions of the Flyway: 5000+ Black Kites coming in to roost at a date palm plantation near Kfar Ruppin. A truly awe-inspiring sight indeed! #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023 #COTF23

This beautiful Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) was one of the highlights of our scouting trip to Yeruham Lake for Champions of the Flyway. What a little cracker! #cotf23 #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023

Kirtland’s Warbler was one of my most-wanted birds for 2023, and I was delighted to get it this morning in Michigan on a trip after the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival. What a bird! #BirdsSeenIn2023 #BirdTwitter

Close encounters of the bird kind! Red-winged Blackbirds at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary are certainly bold #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023

I had a great time at the #IndianaDunesBirdingFestival. Incredible birding, lovely people, & a real sense of community: it was everything I could want in a birding festival. And I managed to "tick" my hat: American Woodcock, Kirtland's Warbler & Piping Plover #BirdsSeenIn2023

Anhingas rock! #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023

Apparent first record of Piping Plover for Colombia 🥳

This is hard to believe even for me, but we just got another new bird for Colombia in almost exactly the same spot as yesterday’s Piping Plover 🤯 Lesser Sand-Plover (Charadrius mongolus) Found by Steve Huggins, photo by Ryan Jones
