@SK1BBL3S sorry! 10 years bad luck!

name all 5 species in this photo or ten year bad luck upon you

@fairieteeth lower rio grand valley!

@Saffron_Moth what part of the world is this? im gonna say american black duck because of the yellowish/greenish beak and the dark brown body!!

@LivTheDragon1 really? that’s crazy to me. i’m in south texas and i probably see them anytime im near a body of water

@Saffron_Moth also WHEREEE are you finding roseates i swear i live in costa half the year I NEVER SEE THEM!!

@TemmieMew i cannot ID ducks even a little so i kinda just believe whatever anyone says lmao

@Saffron_Moth yeah i said mottled cause i felt like i saw a bit of a gape spot, but american black duck might be a better bet

@TemmieMew the cunty eyeliner is leading me towards stilt because there is as a gaggle of them not far from this spot the duck could be like 5 different guys

@Saffron_Moth roseate spoonbil!! great egret!! mottled duck!! small!! drab!! shorebird!! (stilt sandpiper?) BLACK NECKED STILT!!!!

i’m full of birds

hey birders who follow how do we manage neck pain after 13 hours yesterday i’m dead

@m3l0dyyy__ these guys literally life outside my front door i love them greatly

i love trying to take nice photos of the “ordinary” birds we tend to ignore :) (#birdtwt ppl quote tweet with ur fav “common” bird pics!)

ough im soooo full of lifers

@vampirelechery it’s just so hard to multitask photographing idiots and then also remembering to log them. i’m also DOG at IDing in the field lmao

@Saffron_Moth ebird is my best friend in da world, definitely recommend

im shooting for 80 species at forsythe tomorrow do you think we can do it some people have gotten over 100 there

@vampirelechery i’ll have to tally mine up after i edit tomorrow, if i had to bet im in the 20-25 range at least. i really should do checklists when i do these big trips

@Saffron_Moth ended at 67!!!

birding done, photo editing is a tomorrow job i am the sorest and most sunburnt i’ve been in a looooong

my reward for almost dying form heat stroke is very on brand board games

dude the auto iso on the d500 is tweaking why are you putting my shit at 26000 in minorly shaded tree lines

@tepniii groove billed ani, straight up my favorite bird ever

@Saffron_Moth wowowowowow what kind of bird is this

crying in the club cause i saw my favorite bird ever today

@vampirelechery DAMN. just got absolutely birdmogged holy

@Saffron_Moth still out!! so far at 54

@vampirelechery how’d you do, i think i only hit 20 today

@Saffron_Moth its time to lock in…. hoping to leave at like 6 or 7 AM so i get in maximum bird time, my record at this spot is 53 but since its peak spring migration i think i can beat it by a lot

she stroke on my heat until i pass out #heatexhaustion
