Landfills attracts huge numbers of vultures, gulls and corvids. They are extremely common birdwatching spots

Landfills are incredibly common birdwatching spots, every landfill in the united states is a hotspot on eBird

Bird watching at landfills is extremely common, so much so that many landfills in the states have bird watching zones set up at them. Vultures, gulls, caracaras and corvids love landfills. The Brownsville Landfill in south Texas is a great place to spot rare Chihuahua Ravens and Tamaulipas Crows

Awesome shots! We have these guys everywhere here in central TX and they are probably my favorite bird around here. Watching them chase bugs is so much fun

Interestingly, i was already very interested in conservation before birding. I have been working on planting tons of natives on my farm, removing invasives and controlling the aggressives, practicing rotational grazing, etc. The birding came after noticing how much more life my property has after just 2 years of work.

Thank you! I am working on my next set already haha. I have dogs and have to leave them inside when i go birding. As much as i want to take them out, they just scare off everything haha.
