My son Eddie and I got up early one morning this week to see a rare bird that was reported a few hours to the north: the Harlequin Duck.

A few days ago a birdwatcher found a MacGillivray's Warbler less than ten miles from my house.

This past weekend I was able to photograph Snow Buntings for the first time.  These sparrow-like birds visit Pennsylvania in small numbers each year. 

My wife Melissa and I just celebrated our anniversary.  That reminded me of a trip we took to Wyoming years ago on our anniversary. 

Red Crossbills are one of Pennsylvania's least studied breeding birds.  To find nesting crossbills, you usually need to head north. 

Several weeks ago I found a Sandhill Crane sitting on the ground on the far edge of a wetland.

I was excited to see a Mississippi Kite last week while I was looking for birds in western Pennsylvania. Mississippi Kites usually nest in the southern United States, from Arizona to South Carolina.
