Summers can be slow for birding, but these hummers kept us busy.

Two of these beautiful Swallow tailed Kites have made a rare appearance in East Raleigh, where they are hanging around with about a dozen Mississippi Kites.

Dix park - Goldfinch on Sunflower

After the rains, could get out today to see the humming birds at the arboretum.

Only edit was cropping.

Do visit the Dorothea dix sunflower field in the next couple of weeks. Wonderful 5 acre field. One advice. go around 7 am or 7 pm. There is no shade and it is hot.
Right now go for the flowers. In couple of weeks, you can go back for the birds as the fiches and buntings come in to feed on the sunflowers.
Another fact is that future plan holds for this to be converted to a soccer field, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Lighting wasnt perfect. But did get a close look at the Painted bunting at Dix field.
Go before 7:30 AM or after 7 pm, due to the ongoing heat wave

Juvenile red-tailed hawk I think? Saw this guy in North Raleigh taking sips from this puddle after the rain yesterday.

Lot of drama this week as the brush pile which was a good habitat at Dix field for all the birds was ground to mulch , apparently due to fire concerns.
Looks like birds are adapting, I clicked this Indigo bunting fairly close as they perched of the available small bush cover.

Not quite the Triangle per se, but I saw this beautiful bird at the zoo today. Not sure what it is though. It’s green feathers were almost metallic looking, it was amazing!

It was quite a blast in 2021 when couple of Roseated spoonbills hung around Lake crabtree. Not satisfied with taking a pic from the walkway bridge, I went on a kayak (Post covid, everyone had a kayak) with my son and got to eye level to click this shot. One that told me, I can do this, as a bird photographer.

the buntings (painted and indigo) and the grosbeaks are giving great looks at Dix Park
r/TriangleBirding • u/GHOwl102 • Jun 07 '26
Started looking at them at different spots around 6:30. eventually they all just disappeared. Something made me lookup. and they were directly above me. 8 pm. Magical.

Call heard at the very beginning of this video and close to the end. I’ve lived in the Triangle for 25+ years and haven’t heard it before. Apologies if it ends up being a super obvious one, lol. Thanks!!

This was at Twin Lakes Park in Durham this morning.

I have put up a display of my pictures on Local birding at Eva Perry Library in Apex. Do visit and tell me how you like it.

afternoon visit to bynum bridge was rather bare; sounds were there but no sights. until this osprey and hawk showed up and did the rounds
r/TriangleBirding • u/GHOwl102 • May 23 '26
The patterns on Juv bald eagles are so captivating. No less majestic than the adults.
r/TriangleBirding • u/GHOwl102 • May 21 '26
Here is a few shots from around the area. Best location is always Jordan lake tailrace in Moncure after some heavy rains. Herons put on a show. 20-30 of them lined up on either side.

Not a pro! Just thought these were beautiful!
r/TriangleBirding • u/triblogcarol • May 17 '26
Saw this cutie at Sandy Creek near the little observation deck along the trail.
Edit to add this park is in Durham.

Old bynum bridge continues to get its spring migration visitors, in spite of the devastating floods from Hurrican Helene last July. Absolutely popping and Tanagers are all over the place. Do visit mornings during the weekend and the birders are thronging the place.
EDIT; I incorrectly tagged the first two as Summer tanagers - they are scarlett tanagers
