This is Samuel Henderson, a young birder who's gone viral for his incredibly accurate bird call imitations.
His ability to recreate the sounds of different bird species is truly impressive.

Hello again.
We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip.
The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity.
I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool.
I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy.
I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know.
I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia.
A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia.
This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was.
And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for reading.

Grace Hopper was a US Navy rear admiral, mathematician, and the person who built the first compiler.
In 1952, she wrote A-0 – a program that translated mathematical notation into machine code.
Before the compiler, every program was written in machine language.
Binary instructions. Ones and zeros. Different for every machine architecture.
Hopper's idea: write code in something closer to English.
Let a program translate it into machine language automatically.
Her supervisors told her it was impossible.
Computers, they said, could only do arithmetic – not symbol manipulation.
She did it anyway.
Her compiler worked.
Nobody used it.
"I had a running compiler," she later said, "and nobody would touch it. They told me computers could only do arithmetic."
She spent three years convincing people it was real before it was adopted.
By 1959, she co-developed COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) which ran the financial systems of the Western world for decades.
COBOL still processes an estimated $3 trillion in daily financial transactions.
The code that keeps the global economy moving was designed by a woman whose supervisors told her it was impossible.
She kept a clock on her wall that ran counter-clockwise.
When asked why, she said: "Why not? Who says a clock has to run this way?"
Happy 170th Birthday, Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) ✍️
The man who gave us alternating current, the induction motor, the Tesla coil, and the polyphase system that still carries power to every wall socket on Earth.
He imagined wireless energy before the world had radio. He died with few possessions and hundreds of patents.
There are actually some nice UFC players playing soccer this time around. Keep your eyes on the pitch, referees are gonna have a long day 🥊⚽️ #FIFA2026
This is all so insane. We found this when we got back to our room. And then someone even sent cupcakes to our room. I genuinely don’t understand how it got to this point. We’re just normal World Cup tourists.😭😭
