Of course a red tailed hawk was scooping me out this morning. I have hawk whispering skills. #BirdsOfMastodon #birds #birding #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #greatbackyardbirdcount

It’s the final day of the Great Backyard Bird Count. This year, I saw a woodpecker, a thrush, chickadees, juncos, and finches, like this one here. #finch #greatbackyardbirdcount

Today is the last day of the Great Backyard Bird Count.
Our sunny skies this morning have given way to clouds, making for an overcast afternoon.
On a good note, today I saw my first Yellow-rumped Warbler of the year!

Filed my second of two checklists for this year's #GreatBackyardBirdCount. #GreatBlueHeron #ArdeaHerodias #GBHE in a little skid of a pond was the biggest surprise.

Some familiar but pretty cool looking neighborhood bird sightings today. A lesser goldfinch who let me get pretty close while working on a small flower, a western bluebird with a bright companion I didn’t quite get and a killdeer making a bunch of noise. #greatbackyardbirdcount #GBBC.
Probably my last birding of this year's #GreatBackyardBirdCount, a quick wetlands walk that produced four new species for the year for me. The highlight was a pair of Canvasbacks, which I generally only see a few times a year at most. And finally some butterbutts. Where have you been hiding?
42) Northern Shoveler
43) Canvasback
44) House Finch
45) Yellow-rumped Warbler

Best bird so far today for me in the #GreatBackyardBirdCount is a Townsend's Solitaire, a type of thrush distantly related to American Robins. I always find them by their repetitive, single note call. Jim DeWitt photo. #GBBC #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #IdahoWildlife

Day 2 of the #greatbackyardbirdcount was incredibly successful. 2 straight days with first time encounters. This pilated woodpecker was a treat to see. I wish I had better photos, but of course these kids and families had to be out there playing and enjoying themselves (JK) 🤷♂️😂 #BirdsOfMastodon #birding #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Led these nice folks on a #PayneCountyAudubonSociety field trip to #PawneeLake in #Pawnee, #Oklahoma for the #GreatBackyardBirdCount.
The #BlackVulture roost was the biggest surprise, but as is often the case, the #BaldEagles demanded the most attention.

The #GreatBackyardBirdCount continues. This morning, I spent an hour at Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge, picking up a decent list of birds, including 5 new for me for the year (Officially anyway. I'd seen kestrels before but not counted them in a list):
37) Tundra Swan
38) Killdeer
39) Northern Harrier
40) American Kestrel
41) Western Meadowlark
