Today I had the supreme opportunity to lead a private birding tour in the expansive and beautiful Palo Alto Baylands. We managed to observe all kinds of sweet bird behavior, talk about the Pacific Flyway, salt marsh ecology, and we even spotted a Ridgeway’s Rail during the King Tide event!

In total we saw 34 different species of birds and logged ~443 individuals!

Not a bad day in the Baylands, if you ask me! P.S. Swipe to see an American Avocet feeding in the mudflats in Slo-Mo •_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•_•

The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is arguably the weirdest and most prehistoric looking bird in the world.
↟
Photographed in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon, this unique bird strictly feeds on leaves, and lives in the trees.
Th Amazon is one of the most breathtaking Ecosystems I was fortunate enough to lay my eyes on this year. It desperately needs our support. 🌿✨💗

This handsome fella was photographed in my backyard a couple weeks ago, no flash, no fuss. Just hummingbirds and fun!

Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) and Marb

Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) and Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) have flown up and down the Pacific Flyway for millions of years. Along their several thousand mile long migrations, they rely upon coastal wetland habitats to rest and refuel.
↟.
California is one of the most important stop over and overwintering locations for these cryptically plumed birds.
↟.
However we only have 9% of this precious wetland habitat remaining, forcing birds to pack into what habitat is left, or go elsewhere.
↟.
Curious what you can do to help defend and support this precious habitat? Check out your local Audubon chapter to see out what you can do to help preserve this critical habitat!

This year has been full of international travel.

This year has been full of international travel. Well, to be honest, that’s how the last six years since graduating college has been. However, 2019 in particular I logged lots of miles, connecting with landscapes once foreign to me, forming relationships that now feel like family, and seeing birds that live forever in my memories.
↟.
A question, I get a lot is, where is your favorite place you've ever been? in the past my response was often the Neo-tropics, because I mean let's be real, it is magical there!!
↟.
However, my answer has changed. I now am happy to tell people that it's here, in California! Every time I leave this ecologically diverse state, I'm increasingly excited and proud to return home. ↟.

Golden light floods the deep rust colored plumage

Golden light floods the deep rust colored plumage of this adult Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) as it heads back to its roost for the evening.
↟
These adept hunters, are in the same genus of the more commonly seen Red-tailed Hawk, however these slightly smaller raptors occupy a different ecological niche.
↟
Red-shouldered Hawks live in dense woods with openings in the canopy. They feed heavily on reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds.
↟
You can also readily ID these handsome hunters by their call "keeyur keeyur keeyur" often repeated several times!

2019 has brought so much joy, inspiration and connections for me in this giant world. I have so much to be grateful for, and when I reflect on all the year has brought me, its kinda insane.
↟.
Here's what my calendar this last year looked like...
↟.
Trinidad and Tobago - Jan
Bonaire - Jan
Ecuador - Feb-March
Alaska - May-Sept
Borneo - Oct
Los Angeles/California - Nov - the unforeseeable future
↟.
I have gotten to see the world with a new lens and travel to places I never thought I would ever get to. With opportunities to push my comfort zone and build international relations fostered in respect and admiration for this amazing planet we call home.
↟.
This year has allowed me to continue refining my goals and dreams, and I am excited to dive into my local area of Los Angeles and California while I focus the majority of my professional endeavors here.
↟.
So stay tuned for all good things coming next year!
↟.
Swipe to see my mood coming into 2020!

When I first started spending time in the neo-trop

When I first started spending time in the neo-tropics, I would get frustrated when I would see another Rufous-tailed Hummingbird ( Amazilia tzacatl). ↟.
I would be like, ugh, just another Rufous-tailed, and quickly put my field glasses down and scour my area for other species. ↟.
But as I grew older, more mature, and more appreciative of life in all it’s forms, my perspective on the common has certainly changed as well.
↟.
And I’m sure you can see why... ✨✨

Formerly known as a "Blue-crowned Motmot" this species was given its own designation when the complex was split into five separate motmot species. This handsome bird is now an endemic to Trinidad & Tobago, and aptly named Trinidad Motmot (Momotus bahamensis). ↟
I love watching them swish their tail feathers back and forth...its like they are just thinking about their next move. ↟

During this epic year of birds and travel, I had t

During this epic year of birds and travel, I had the chance to spend some time in the wild and mighty Amazon rainforest. This massive expanse of lowland primary rainforest is often referred to as the "lungs of the planet", but that's not all. Check out some facts about the amazon.
↟.
1. Home to 10% of all known species on earth
2. The Amazon is roughly equivalent in size to the lower 48 United States
3. Amazon River has over 1100 tributaries, 17 of which are longer than 1,000 miles
4. Nearly 2/3 of the amazon is contained in Brazil
5. An area of forest as large as 40 football fields is destroyed every minute. ↟.
We must protect this vital resource, these systems are deeply connected to our own health, and the impacts of this loss are felt globally.
↟.
This holiday season I implore you to consider contributing financially (if you can) to amazing conservation orgs like:
