We hadn’t really planned to visit more than Hokkaido when we went to Japan. But our guide talked us into adding a couple days in Izumi and Kagoshima. We’re so glad we did!

Fields were full of cranes, lots of tits in the forests, and some really cool ducks in the water.

Throwback to birding the Amazon in Brazil with @sisterhoodbirding and @birdingistheworldbrazil. This was my kind of birding: nice weather, tropical birds, and chill atmosphere.

20% of the world’s freshwater flows through the Amazon River and supports almost 1,000 bird species! There is so much to see there and I feel like we barely scratched the surface. 💯 recommend it if you are trying to figure out your next birding adventure! #birds #birding #birdingtravel #placestogo #birdersofinstagram

We had a day-trip in Ocho Rios a few weeks ago while on a Caribbean cruise with @norwegiancruiseline. Fortunately we were able to hook up Ricardo from @arrowhead_birding for a few hours of birding.

Wow! The birds there was incredible, beautiful, and easy to find. Jamaica has 28 endemic birds species and we were able to spot 14 of them in just a few hours!

We can’t wait to get back there someday and see the rest of them…and enjoy some fantastic food, beautiful sights, and friendly folks.

We have a new podcast episode out all about it! Search for “Hannah and Erik Go Birding” wherever you listen to podcasts.

Checked off a bucket list item while in New Caledonia: ✅ Seeing a Kagu

What an absolutely incredible moment when we stumbled upon this bird silently lurking through the understory. Our guide thought we’d have a 10% chance of seeing it at this park, so we count ourselves lucky. We started down a boardwalk and then we spotted it up the slope and it kept coming closer.

Kagus face a lot of threats, tragically feral dogs have killed many of them at this park. So the park has installed fences to try and keep them out. Kagus evolved without mammal predators and haven’t developed defenses to protect themselves.

💯 recommendation to go to New Caledonia and see the Kagus! It was a highlight of my life!

The Ouvea Parakeet a vulnerable species that only occurs on one small island in the South Pacific, Ouvea. Historically they were spread throughout the Loyalty Islands, but their population has declined due to the pet trade, habitat loss, and introduced species.

However, conservation efforts have been successful! The population was at 600 individuals in 1993 and the last census in 2009 showed they were up to 2,000 thanks to the engaged community that has worked to protect this bird.

Erik and I spent a few days on Ouvea in hopes of seeing this species bird. We didn’t know how tough it would be to find it, fortunately we were staying on the side of the island that has healthy forests and we spotted the bird within hours of landing there.

Ouvea is a beautiful island and probably one of the least touristy places we’ve ever been! Clear, blue water, friendly people, and exciting birds made it an absolute joy to visit.

It’s Global Big Day-eve in much of the world! So there’s plenty of time for you to join. Just go birding for at least 15 minutes on October 11, submit an eBird checklist, and share it to “gobirdingteam”.

Happy Birding!

What’s so great about tropical birding? The colors! 🤩

Of course there are plenty of camouflaged birds that slink around on the forest floor, but there are others that stand out! The Manakins especially just scream out: “BBC Documentary” to me.

These birds were all photographed along the Amazon river in Brazil, an incredible place to see birds and wildlife. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to explore this ecosystem last year - it’s truly breathtaking to see the world’s largest river and the wildlife that lives on it’s shores.

Southeast Arizona is a birding paradise with so many beautiful species in a relatively close area.

A lot of folks ask why we would bird there in August… isn’t it hot? Yes, it peaked at 118•F while we were there. But c’mon, these birds are worth it! So is the @tucsonbirdalliance’s Southeast Arizona Bird Festival (mark your calendars for the next one: August 2026).

In our 4 days of birding, we saw 120 species including 6 lifers! Can’t wait to get back there as there are a few species I still need. Want to hear more? Check out “Hannah and Erik Go Birding” anywhere you listen to podcast, also link is in the bio!

A common question for birders is “how did you get into birding?”….or what is your spark bird?

For me, it started off with a required college course and a midterm question that asked: How does a Dark-eyed Junco fly? I was flummoxed. I didn’t know what a Dark-eyed Junco was or anything about how they flew. At that point I decided to make more of an effort in the class. Who knew that 15 years later this passion would lead me around the world, educating people, and sharing a love for birding with others.

I often say that this course “ruined my life” - jokingly, of course. But it’s wild that this small butterfly effect of this specific class being offered in the particular term that I needed to fill would have had such a profound impact my life so much.

Sometimes it frustrates me that I came to it at 20, which feels so late in my life. But I also like to encourage people to start at whatever age they are - it’s never too late to get into birding.

The @santaritalodge hummingbird feeders attract all kinds of wildlife - including bats!

Seeing these bats come and go to the feeders is a favorite part of staying at Santa Rita Lodges. Lots of birds during the day and other critters (and night birds) when the sun goes down!

….I might also be a little obsessed with Matt Berry and What We Do In The Shadows 😬

So naturally, all I want to do now is go through my Colombia pics and search my calendar for the next time I can escape to Ecuador…or Colombia….or Peru? Anyone want to go?

You never know who you’ll meet at the bar!

Penguins are good gift givers. Scooping rocks up in their beaks, they carry them to their partner. This gift solidifies the relationship between the two penguins and helps start off the nest for their chicks. Pebble nests are perfect in the wet, cold arctic as they allow snow and ice to melt though, keeping eggs and hatchlings dry and raised off the damp ground.

We get asked all the time if we ever go on “non-birding” trips. Well, our trip to NYC is probably the closest we’ll ever be to a non-birding trip… but as you can see still full of birds.

At the end of April, we spent a long weekend in NYC to finally see the famed Ramble in @centralparknyc. Wow! Lots of migrants filling the trees and birders on the trails.

We also visited some touristy sites, like @rockefellercenter (where we heard a super loud White-throated Sparrow) and @empirestatebldg at night to see migrating birds fly over - thanks to @lilittaylor for the heads up on that!

Then we headed over to @brooklynbridgepark for our *lifer* American Black Duck!!! Missed see @brooklynbridgebirds 😢 but we thought the park is such a cool repurpose of space to bring some nature into the city.

And of course, lots of pizza and a speakeasy!

Manhattan was a little overwhelming… but so much fun! I’d totally go back and see some more.

Then we headed over to @brooklynbridgepark for our *lifer* American Black Duck!!! Missed see @brooklynbridgebirds 😢 but we thought the park is such a cool repurpose of space to bring some nature into the city.

And of course, lots of pizza and a speakeasy!

Manhattan was a little overwhelming… but so much fun! I’d totally go back and see some more.

We love feeding the birds in our backyard… but not so much the furry thieves 😡

But @morecoolbirds Hearts on Fire seed of spicy oil-coated sunflower hearts is no mess and no mammals! The birds have been flocking to our @birdfy_by_netvue feeder, so we know they like it too!

Research has shown that birding can your mental health. It’s easy to get started - just start looking at birds! Backyard bird feeding is a great way to increase your sightings and bring more birds closer to home. Even if you don’t know the birds - just watching them is a great place to start!

I love looking out my kitchen window at this @kingsyard_official feeder to see Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Purple Finches, and Red-winged Blackbirds enjoying the black oil sunflower seeds.

It’s a great stress-reliever and so cool to see these beautiful birds up close. Watching for a just a few minutes does wonders!

I have a lot of different bird feeders, but I love how quick and easy it is to clean and fill the Kingsyard feeders.
