In the spring of 2018 I was surprised to see a nest in the joint of a support beam on my back porch. I come and go through that door every day; I would have figured it would be too high-traffic. ...
A young Southern Grey Shrike (Lanius meridionalis) in my garden on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, summer of 2019. I've never seen an adult come this close to a human (about 2 meters). It's stil...
A visit from a baby Cisticola juncidis during this quarantine. I have found it in my backyard. My dog, Buddy (a lab), was looking at it with curiosity. Fortunately, Buddy is super friendly...

I don't think "where was this picture taken?" questions are generally helpful to the community.[1] There are places out there that do "view from my window" type contests where players use informat...
