About time I shared my Rosy-faced Lovebird pic. Unbelievable encounter at a city park in Phoenix. This lovebird was happily eating away at the tree’s flowers right at eye level to us offering some great chances to snag photos. ❤️🦜

You’d be surprised how good of shots you can get at a city park. This female Vermillion Flycatcher flew right up to us. Not even kidding, it was within 5 feet. If I had a fly to put on ‘s head it probably would have landed on him. It was that close 😂

My newest video just went live! The video ended up being one of my longest ever videos too which is crazy. It features the roadtrip through Southern Utah and Arizona that kicked off our epic Arizona birding trip to Tucson. Give it a watch!

Just a badass hawk. Plain and simple. The Rough-legged Hawk is one of my favorite raptors that visit Utah.

We saw this bird just outside of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge off the side of the road. You bet we pulled off to the shoulder to fire as many photos as possible as soon as we saw it. Just really happy I had a few that turned out.
