Well, it’s been almost another year since my last blog post. I spent this last year at a small college in northwestern Pennsylvania. I got back to Kansas two weeks ago after our choir tour. A day after I got back I was suddenly thought I should really get a birding trip in this summerContinue reading “Eastern Kansas, early June 2023”

Southwest Kansas spring birding trip
Wow, it’s somehow been over my year since my last blog post! Much has changed since then and I’m now based in Hutchinson, Kansas, USA. I’ve been here for a year now and have been enjoying our church’s youth group, time with family, and of course birding! I’ve birded pretty hard the past year andContinue reading “Southwest Kansas spring birding trip”
What birding is about! Plus finding a Black-headed Bunting!
This past weekend* was a perfect example of why I love birding for three reasons: enjoying the common species, finding rare species, and doing it with friends! (This was from late September! I started writing it immediately after, but didn’t get around to finishing it till now 😬) The weekend started off at New Vision,Continue reading “What birding is about!

Rare Thrushes in Dhaka
It was a Friday afternoon in late October with beautiful clear blue skies and I was itching to get outside, so my brother and I decided to try birding Ramna park for the first time.

We were soon in business with a hornbill flying across and landing on one ofContinue reading “Hornbill, Rollers, and a Firefinch (Historical post: Kenya #4)”
Cuckooshrike, Mousebirds, Citrils, and Sunbirds (Historical: Kenya pt 3)
With lockdown because of COVID I’m not getting birding done besides from our home and that doesn’t give much material for the blog so hopefully I can do more historical posts. I’ve only gotten through two days of our Kenya trip so far so I may start doing a bit less commentary and more photosContinue reading “Cuckooshrike, Mousebirds, Citrils, and Sunbirds (Historical: Kenya pt 3)”
Historical: Cordonbleus, Waxbills, and more(Kenya pt 2)
I woke up bright and early our first morning in Kenya to the gorgeous song of an African Pied Wagtail just outside my window! I of course had to check to see what it was and enjoyed its “wagging” around the sidewalk. I also noted a wheatear on the back wall which I IDed asContinue reading “Historical: Cordonbleus, Waxbills, and more(Kenya pt 2)”
Historical: Kenya November 2019
“I can’t believe we’re actually here!” I thought as our plane touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We had been planning this vacation since early in the year to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Nakuru. Of course I was excited to be able to spend some timeContinue reading “Historical: Kenya November 2019”
