Orlando, Florida is great for birdwatching thanks to lots of water, plant life, and great weather. I researched the most popular birding hotspots and found the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. I drove my rental car along this 11-mile road. During my visit I saw many great birds and met some nice birders.

I recently visited London with my huge microphone and camera to see what birds I could find. The last time I visited was in 2004 and it rained every day. This time I got lucky with sunshine!
This blog posts shows where I went to see birds and how it was for bird photography and audio recording.

Like most birders, I go birding in the morning. The day is new and birds are looking for food, water, and romance. But what happens when the sun goes down? Do birds still exist? Last night, I saw a favorite birding hotspot in a whole new way…by the glow of the moon.

I recently returned from a pleasant vacation to Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal. Our travel style is very unstructured and involves lots of on-foot exploration with visits to historical landmarks.
Birding isn’t our main reason for travel but we looked for birds everywhere we went and visited a few spots specifically to see them.

A solitary exotic bird, the Cattle Tyrant, was spotted this week in downtown Corpus Christi, Texas. Birders from all over the country rushed to the gulf coast of Texas to try to catch a glimpse of this yellow flycatcher far from its home in South America.

Since 2016, volunteers across the United States have participated in the Climate Watch survey to collect data about target species to help Audubon scientists better understand how birds are responding to climate change. This summer was my first opportunity to work with the Bexar Audubon Society to get involved and collect this crucial data about the Lesser Goldfinch.
