Birds

There has never been such a thing as unspoiled nature. Few, if any, regions can be characterized as pristine. But that does not mean that nature and wild(ish) things are not beautiful! We should try to capture this beauty whenever we can. With that in mind, in 2024 I started documenting the different birds that I encounter on my day-to-day (and while traveling). Thus far I have photographed 401 different species, that is, 3.6% of known species1 according to the Clements Checklist (no relation).

I use and recommend Cornell’s wonderful Merlin Bird ID app to identify and keep track of different bird species. You can check out my eBird profile, as well as my contributions to the Macaulay Library. I also have field reports of my trips to Santiago, Chile, the Eastern Brazilian Amazon (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), and Tierra del Fuego. Finally, I recently started a YouTube channel where I share some videos I’ve taken. They are not very good, but I’m trying to get better at it. Below are some of the pictures I’ve taken, alongside an interactive map with the approximate2 locations of the sightings.

Note: While foraging for food, Eastern Towhees will move leaves around in a way that seems like dancing. This female was doing this a few feet from me so in principle it should have been easy to snap a picture. However, it was also dark so my I had to use a slower shutterspeed to avoid cranking up the ISO beyond usable (this one is already at 6,400), so that meant that most pictures were too blury to be posted. This one came out ok.
