trying to capture each of the 151 legendary birds in a masterball

🐥 Snapped this piping plover near Warwick a few weeks ago. Good news: despite this little bird being classified as "near threatened" by the IUCN, its population is actually increasing thanks to conservation efforts undertaken by a few states on the east coast.

🐑 Icelandic sheep! I typically avoid images with lots of detail in the background since it can be a bit distracting/overwhelming, but I thought a cute sheep in a meadow of lupine flowers could make for an exception. Sheep are an important part of Icelandic culture. There are more than two sheep per Icelander and these animals' fur can provide several types of fabrics to fashion different kinds of sweaters, rugs, and waterproof garments. These animals were ferried to Iceland as early as 800 c.e. by Nordic settlers.

🦆 Another image of the american oystercatcher on a beautiful, blue-and-white Bahama beach. Love it when birds are curious and get closer instead of nervous and scuttling away—not just because it makes for a better shot, but because it feels like I'm disturbing them just a bit less.

🐓 Five red-necked pharalopes were feeding near a small tidepool on a black sand beach in Iceland, and didn't mind me getting close for a few images! 😊 These guys are miniscule,
only weighing up to 35 grams (1.2 oz) and are only as large as sparrows. They breed in the arctic circle in the summer, and can be found all the way south of Argentina in the summer.
Side note: they are SUPER difficult to take photos of. They float quickly back and forth with waves and are hyper-active, so the vast majority of shots that don't have motion blue are totally out of focus. Only two of dozens of images turned out sharp.

🐦 The barn swallow can be found everywhere around the world other than Antarctica, migrating from northern Canada, Europe and Russia, to southern Chile, South Africa and southern Australia each year. These birds re-use previous nests and are social, living in pairs and groups of pairs.

🐿 The incredibly adorable Townsend's chipmunk napping on a log. This omnivorous rodent devours insects, plants, and even bird eggs!

🦜 The incredible keel-billed toucan showing off its magnificent beak 😍 While most people think of toucans as fruit-eaters, these beautiful animals also devour insects, lizards, snakes, other birds and all sorts of eggs! Like owls, toucanets, and other bird species, toucans typically nest in tree hollows.

🐓 A huge splash of red in the otherwise evergreen Washingtonian rainforest 😃 Red-breasted sapsuckers cling to tree trunks and drill shallow holes into trees to dig up insects and sap. These woodpeckers live exclusively on the west coast of North America, from southern California to just south of Alaska.

🦜 Rufous hummingbirds are some of the most aggressive, attacking and defeating competitors at feeders and flowers, sometimes overpowering species twice their size. These tiny creatures can migrate from southern Mexico all the way to Alaska each year.

🐦 The song sparrow seems average at first glance, but it makes beautiful calls! Males use calls to defend territory and to attract females, and they learn songs from adult birds to add diversity to their calls. Males with more diverse and complex songs are typically preferred by females, and this is assumed to be because it shows a greater ability to learn.
