Image 1 — Yesterday I counted a whopping 8750 Buff-breasted Sandpipers at my local turf farm on the central Texas coast. With a global estimated population of only 56,000 breeding birds, this means I saw about 15% of the entire global population of this species in one place.

Rented AirBnB for 4 months for work. Host didn't mow the lawn once the whole summer and the grass got ridiculously tall. Also one bedroom got infested by termites and it took them two weeks to get an exterminator. Never once met the host. Is this normal? [TX, USA]

Photo of the grass can be seen here.

White morph Reddish Egret in breeding plumage. When they get that blue facial skin they are really really ridiculously good looking. Texas coast.

Example of why how skinny/fat a bird looks is not a good field mark...

As you can see, the appearance of one individual bird can change drastically depending on their posture. When I was photographing this Painted Bunting, he went from elegant songster to OH LAWD HE COMIN real quick.
