Special moment, but crappy photo. Eastern screech-owl in Nassau County.

@MikkoJimenez My family tells me i now have a potty mouth, but it has only been since I stared birding. It’s like I have good-bird-induced Turrettes.

Finally saw my first Long Island Snowy Owl! Empty south shore beach, a friend and I standing in awe.

@kjk11231 @Fpimentel14 @BirdQueens there is no parking area nearby- post office is a mile away along a narrow road with no sidewalk-birders have been idling their cars in the street with hazard lights on

A roseate spoonbill decided to feed in the marsh near me in Mill Neck!!!!!!!!!

@BirdIzLife Is there a trick to it? I can never find them.

I am now officially hummingbird crazy- I increased my feeders from 3 to 6 today- the rainy Sunday kept me inside all day staring at my hummingbirds learning the markings of 4 individuals that I have names for

@BirdingBobNYC @alexcritelli7 I saw humpback whales feeding for an hour from the beach in fire island 2 weeks ago- and there was a smaller fin I could not identify- maybe blue shark!

[Ellen Zimmerli @ZimmerliEllen]

I discovered this hummingbird nest a few doors down from me- I hope I get to see baby hummingbirds in a week or 2.
