Just when I thought the Scarlet Tanager couldn't be anymore beautiful, I came across a male in its breading plumage! While I adore the traditional red coloration, I couldn't get enough of the orange and yellow pattern spread throughout. What a show!

Another species of Warbler crossed off for 2026: The Blackpoll Warbler! I was thrilled to finally watch a male and female while getting swarmed by the local bugs and to finally photograph this species for the first time.

The Many Birds of My 2026 Adventure Part 1: American Robin!

05/19/2026

Bucket list Lifer alert!! I spent the weekend at the incredible Edwin B Forsythe NWR in New Jersey for nonstop migration birding and it was breathtaking! Among the trip highlights was the ability to cross off a bucketlister for me, the Black Skimmer! I was thrilled to see some different poses throughout the time with this unique bird, but also gathered some awesome in-flight shots of it "skimming" the water's surface. I'll always remember this day!

The moment I had with this tiny American Red Squirrel gave me among the cutest photos that I've ever done! That adorable face is just perfect!

I think most birders are guilty of overlooking the Common Grackle. They're loud and very common but also have some incredible colors when shot in some beautiful lighting. They're so much fun to watch as they forage along the water's edge, bouncing from rock to rock.

One of my favorite mid-May migrants here in Pennsylvania, one that isn't a warbler, the amazing Eastern Kingbird! I was lacking a solid photo of these active hunters until this past weekend. I saw at least 6 of them while hiking a local lake and 2 were actively hunting in front of me. I wasn't nearly able to get an in-flight shot, but this one was my favorite.

Seeing Every Species of Bird Part 3: Snow Goose!

Happy Global Migration Day everyone! This is the legendary Cerulean Warbler, arguably my favorite warbler in North America. It took me lots of patience, and if we're honest, a ton of new neck pain, to finally get some photos of this beautiful warbler. Hope you all had an amazing week of spring migration!

It took me the better part of an hour of waiting in the woods for this Worm-Eating Warbler to appear, and boy was it worth it! I came away with possibly my best Warbler photo I've ever taken. One certainly for the portfolio!
