Happy Bir(d)thday to Me!

Thirty-four years ago today, while the world mourned the passing of the King of Rock and Roll, little ol' me took my first breaths of mortal existence. Depending on your beliefs about reincarnation, the King may indeed still be alive...in me!

So, I thought I'd celebrate my birthday and honor the memory of Elvis Presley here on the birding blog today.  I'm sharing 34 of my favorite bird photos that I personally have taken, in no particular order.

  3. @dAwN - Long live the King! Thanks Dawn!

    @Kelly - Thanks! It usually makes people feel really old when I tell them I was born the very day and year Elvis died.

  4. Happy Birthday to you! Love the collection of photos. It's hard to pick a favorite but I am partial to the nighthawk. I'm glad you were born and so are the birds. Here's to many more birdy and birding birthdays! I hope you have a great one this year!
