My penultimate day in Ecuador, and it was incredible to find this bird Masked trogon 😍😍 ❤️❤️
This is hard to believe even for me, but we just got another new bird for Colombia in almost exactly the same spot as yesterday’s Piping Plover 🤯
Lesser Sand-Plover (Charadrius mongolus)

Kirtland’s Warbler was one of my most-wanted birds for 2023, and I was delighted to get it this morning in Michigan on a trip after the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival. What a bird! #BirdsSeenIn2023 #BirdTwitter – at Michigan, USA

Close encounters of the bird kind!
Red-winged Blackbirds at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary are certainly bold #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023 – at Chicago, IL

I had a great time at the #IndianaDunesBirdingFestival. Incredible birding, lovely people, & a real sense of community: it was everything I could want in a birding festival.
And I managed to "tick" my hat: American Woodcock, Kirtland's Warbler & Piping Plover #BirdsSeenIn2023

And that’s a wrap!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Israel for @flywaychampions: 5000+ Black Kites coming in to roost at a date palm plantation near Kfar Ruppin. A truly awe-inspiring sight indeed! #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023 #COTF23 – at Israel

Here’s the full video of the Oncilla being photobombed by a Long-tailed Sylph hummingbird. I’m still pinching myself after this remarkable encounter! #BirdTwitter

So this happened...
A Long-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus kingii) photobombing an Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) 🤯
🥳🥳🥳
At the start of the year I asked people their most-wanted bird of ‘23. One of mine was Yellow-headed Manakin.
Goal achieved 🥳 what a little stunner!
