If you are lucky enough to be out on the beach and able to view these magnificent travelers from a distance, you'll start to see a whole lot more color! It doesn't take long for Red Knot to molt their winter feathers and regrow beautiful red ones!

Molt.
Looking forward to the day that we can shed this virus and not be cautious about going out in public.
Red Knot, like most birds, molt their feathers twice a year. During the spring they shed the their dull gray winter plumage and regrow their namesake beautiful red feathers.

Blissfully unaware.
..of the drama in the human world. Another lesson to be gleaned from birds. Gather what you need and carry on.

Stay safe and stay put. For now. And maybe don't listen to the news every waking hour. ;)

A large telephoto zoom lens and a lot of patience was used to capture this flock and no birds were disturbed before, during, or after obtaining these pictures. Walk around the flock

Changing.
Changes are a natural part of the bird world. Every spring, Red Knots shed their old winter feathers and regrow beautiful new red ones. They roll right along with it and focus on preparing for what's ahead. For them that's a 9,000 mile long journey north.
Maybe there's a lesson to learn from Red Knots. Or maybe it's just a pretty picture.
More of this flock to come over the next week! An overcast morning made it possible for me to overexpose the background of this photo while maintaining the integrity of color in my subject. I'm pretty happy with the result. This, along with every picture on my Instagram, are available for purchase. Just send me a DM and we can work out a deal for custom prints.
Necessary disclaimer: NO BIRDS WERE FLUSHED OR DISTURBED TO OBTAIN THIS PHOTO.

The Flock.
The flock's all here on Seabrook Island! I counted 2,500 that day. Red Knot congregate here between Kiawah and Seabrook to feed on donax clams and rest up before they complete their 9,000 mile journey to the arctic to nest.
My ongoing graduate research involves watching how beachgoers interact with this flock and testing to see how Momma Red Knot online media can influence people's behavior. Every single person that approaches this magnificent flock has a choice to make: either walk through the flock and force them all to fly or walk around the flock and leave them undisturbed. My goal is that they choose the latter. Every time they're spooked is energy wasted on things other than feeding or resting.
More photos of this flock to come. Using a telephoto lens I got some great portrait photos of individual birds. I did not make them flush to take pictures. Doing so would be unethical photography!

Shrike.
Loggerhead Shrikes often hang around barbed wire because they impale their prey on it. The species that are seemingly innocent and unassuming but actually s***ky and full of attitude are the ones I connect with the most!
This bird is also the radio name and favorite bird of the great ! - a fantastic researcher, educator, and one of my colleagues and mentors for many years.
Taken in 2018 in Harleyville, SC.

Peek-a-boo.
I see you on your nest momma (or poppa) Black-crowned Night Heron! During this time of year the Lowcountry offers some of the most beautiful views and experiences. It has never been more obvious how life persists no matter what is going on in the human world. The birds are still bumping and flowers are blooming everywhere. COVID-19 can't change that.
This photo is from a shoot I did in 2018 at Magnolia Plantation's Audubon Swamp Garden. (Not affiliated with National Audubon Society.)

Chip.
Normally when I take photos of sparrows it's to help me ID them. To borrow a quote from a friend and fellow photographer , my long lens is a sparrow identifier. (I stink at sparrow ID.)
This Chipping Sparrow chose a pretty branch to sit on. So thank you chip chip. You made my day day. This photo was taken during an Audubon Christmas Bird Count in 2018 in the Four Holes Swamp count circle.

Green bird.
After banded and collected some measurements, this Painted Bunting was let free in no time. This is a follow up to yesterday's post about banding Painted Buntings in the upstate in 2018.
COVID-19 has allowed me to edit a bunch of worthy old photos that never made it off my camera. More to come over the next week!

03/28/2020

This young Painted Bunting was captured and banded by my colleague and friend as part of her research with . I was lucky enough to join her to lend a hand on this trip to the upstate in 2018.
It was safely released in no time after receiving some new jewelry to help track its migration. This research is helping us learn more about how to better protect species like the Painted Bunting throughout its life cycle.
Going through old photos now that we're being encouraged to .
