Spring versus fall migration. The goal on the spring is to get to their breeding grounds, establish territory and start attracting mates. 💙🩷

Fall migration is a bit calmer, slower. Many birds aren’t in a rush to get to their wintering territories.

FYI 701,800 birds migrated through or into Beaufort County last night 🤩

Am I birdwatching or is he human watching? This Coopers Hawk made a swipe at some Mourning Doves, but missed.

He looked at me like it was my fault 🤣

Morning birding was filled with the birds you’d expect to see at this time of the migration season. Definitely Red Eyed Vireos for the win!

But, I did see two beautiful Prairie Warblers fairly close together; this one was less shy 😂

Good Morning ☀️. Today marks 6 years since my husband & I moved to The Lowcountry. I’d never birded, but I became enthralled with the beauty of our area and the fact that birds were disappearing at alarming rates.

I am also a self-taught photographer now. Every photo you have seen over the years, with exception of a few people who have share photos with us, I’ve taken.

Thank you for your support, your kindness and your love over the years! We will continue to educate people about our beloved home and our amazing birds.

Happy Monday! The early bird always gets the worm 🪱!

Caught this Semipalmated Plover doing what they do best, seeking food under the surface of our shores.

Had a decent look at a migrating Northern Waterthrush this morning. On the move, from branch to branch, bobbing his tail consistently.

The Northern Waterthrush winters in tropical and subtropical regions, ranging from southern Florida, southern Texas, and Bermuda through Central America and the West Indies down to northern South America (including Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and reaching Peru). ~ All About Birds

Birding yesterday was filled with a lot of the familiar species, not a bad thing!

But as soon as I sat on my front porch, I had someone looking right at me! A beautiful Prothonotary Warbler. So, it was nice to observe, watch the movements from bush to bush and tree to tree.

Sometimes the best birds are right in front of you. 💛💛💛💛

Dolly Parton was beloved by so many, and she was one of a kind! I remember my parents playing “Islands in The Stream” like there was no tomorrow 🩷

But Dolly Parton didn’t just entertain us; she played a huge role in the conversation of The Bald Eagle 🦅.

Dolly Parton partnered with the American Eagle Foundation in 1990 to create the Eagle Mountain Sanctuary at her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

The partnership built a massive 1.5-million-cubic-foot aviary that opened in April 1991, becoming the country’s largest presentation of non-releasable Bald Eagles.

Millions of visitors learned about birds of prey, and the facility provided a safe haven, medical clinic, and rehabilitation center for injured or orphaned eagles that could not survive on their own.

In 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service honored Dolly Parton with its Partnership Award for her dedication to Bald Eagles recovery. (American Eagle Foundation).

We share one of our favorite photos we’ve taken of these magnificent birds and fly high Dolly. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Morning birding adventures & some info about why your yard might be a little more quiet right now.

Nice migration night through Beaufort County, SC, fallouts from the expected species like Prairie Warblers. Did see a tricky to find (because he was in the thick of branches) Black and White Warbler. Ended the morning with a Ruby Throated Hummingbird perched perfectly!

When you have patience, and can observe birds interacting; sometimes a moment becomes perfection. 🤩

While searching for bands on birds, I saw these two Black Skimmers interacting. So I sat, and waited…and here’s the result. 🖤🤍🧡
