I have watched and photographed birds for fun for the last ten years. I took 45,000 photos, observed 440 species, and made countless memories. For Christmas this year, I made tiny framed prints of more than 50 of my favorite bird photos and sent them to friends all over the country.

Earlier this year, I dove into the world of recording with parabolas when a Pro Mono Parabolic microphone from Wildtronics landed on my porch in a large brown box.
This 22-inch wide dish-shaped microphone blew me away the first time I used it. In the past seven months I’ve used it nearly every weekend and uploaded nearly 100 recordings to eBird.

Every year after laying their eggs and fledging their chicks, thousands and thousands of Purple Martin birds concentrate into a mega flock. They begin roosting together nightly in the lush trees of a Petco parking lot in Round Rock, Texas.
Because birds are cool and thousands of birds are obviously more cool (bird math), Travis Audubon organizes yearly Purple Martin parties which bring viewers together to enjoy this bird spectacle
