This young Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was intently staring into the brush when my parents and I came upon it. My parents have been trying to get me to go for a walk in their neighborhood park for quite some time. I&#8217;m always going here or there, looking for birds and other wildlife in parks, [...]]]></description>

Playing &#8220;twister.&#8221;

I&#8217;m guessing this is what a pelican cough looks like.

I don&#8217;t know much about gulls, but I&#8217;ve learned a thing or two lately. They are handsome in flight, often soaring with wings outstretched. They can be seen just about anywhere in North America at some point during the year. You know what else? They are bullies and thieves!I watched this gull swoop and dive [...]]]></description>

Right? A pelican is probably one of the most widely recognized birds in the world. They are huge birds, with incredibly long bills and an expandable pouch. When they fly, they soar - and it is an awesome sight. These pelicans seemed so content. They were not rushed or hurried, nor stressed or bothered. They [...]]]></description>

These Rock Pigeons (Columba livia) are not native to North America, but they have been around for close to 400 years.1
These birds are incredibly common in urban areas, and are probably considered pests by some. I think they are beautiful - look at the colors!

One of my very favorite birding activities is watching birds bathe. [...]]]></description>

I am so excited to announce a series on American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)! As you can probably tell from the Birder&#8217;s Lounge logo, I am pretty sweet on these magnificent birds. I saw my first &#8220;real-live&#8221; pelican on February 25, 2005. (No, I didn&#8217;t remember the date -  I had to look back at [...]]]></description>
