Ember in the Canopy

Here’s a red-eyed vireo (Vireo olivaceus)—the first I’ve ever photographed, and quite possibly the first I’ve ever seen. Such a cool moment. It dropped by while Charlie and I were outside, enjoying a bit of birdwatching together.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

I find birds very relatable: Wake up and immediately get the urge to start screaming.

Least Bell’s Vireo gleefully sings “Cheedle-cheedle-chee? Cheedle-cheedle-chew!” oblivious to its brush with extinction - in the 1980s there were fewer than 300 breeding pairs. Heartening to witness one in Los Angeles. #naturephotography #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birdwatching #LosAngelesRiver #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #GriffithPark #GriffithParkBirds #BirdsOfPixelfed #Vireo #LeastBellsVireo #BellsVireo

A rare #songbird’s epic journey from the edge of #extinction back to the L.A. River https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-05-15/endangered-songbird-reclaims-la-river

"A lone least Bell’s #vireo was documented at the park when the habitat #restoration effort targeting the species began about two years ago. Within a year, there were four — two nesting pairs. Last year, they counted three #fledglings."

An endangered songbird reclaims the L.A. River: 'It's a survivor'

Once teetering on extinction, the least Bell's vireo is making a comeback in areas along the Los Angeles River, including a bustling park in northeast L.A.

Occasionally heard but seldom seen, Hutton’s Vireo looks annoyed to have its picture taken.
