A look back at Light & Shadow Explorers with my Grade 5–6 students at #VGCC in Dongguan, China. 🌏📸 From hands-on science investigations to their Digital Gallery; here’s what we created together! 🎥 youtu.be/cdktHxYndCw?... #STEAM #Education #jamesfalletti #StudentPhotography

Torino releases second Meadowlands book 📚 thepressgroup.net/torino-relea...

Mi corazón está con mi familia extendida, mis amigos y todos los que han sido afectados por este terremoto. Estoy pensando en ustedes y espero de corazón que estén bien. No están solos. Estoy con ustedes, de corazón 🇺🇸💔🇨🇴 #Colombia #FuerzaColombia #ColombiaEstamosContigo

Every #book has the potential to shape how we see the world. Excited to dive into Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. It already reminds me why I connect people with #birds, #wildlife, and the outdoors through #photography, #education, and conservation. #LastChildInTheWoods

Had a wonderful afternoon presenting “New Jersey’s Birds” at the New Milford Senior Center! Thank you for such a warm welcome and an engaged audience. Proud to share my passion for #Birding and #conservation while celebrating the incredible birds of #NewJersey.

Back on the trails with the BCAS after an unforgettable month teaching in China. Great friends, beautiful birds, and a reminder that every journey makes you appreciate home a little more. #BergenCountyAudubon #NJBirding #BirdPhotography #Meadowlands #JamesFalletti

Light & Shadow Explorers brought together #Photography, #Photojournalism, #STEM, and #EnvironmentalEducation as students explored nature, edited images in Lightroom, and learned how visual storytelling can inspire #Conservation.

A mysterious leak. Young scientists. One week to investigate. 🧪 My Grade 5 & 6 students explored soil, water, and air in The Leaking Bio Lab at VGCC in Dongguan, China. #STEM #ScienceEducation #EnvironmentalEducation #China

James Falletti is China bound. 🇨🇳✈️ Looking forward to teaching at VGCC and sharing the connections between birds, STEM, and aerospace. Huítóu jiàn! 👋 #STEMEducation #BirdsInspire #Aerospace #GlobalEducation #China

A special shoutout to the American Robin (Turdus migratorius), the bird that seems to be everywhere we go. Familiar, resilient, and often overlooked, it’s a reminder that nature’s beauty can be found right in our own backyard. #AmericanRobin #BirdPhotography #BirdWatching @aba.org @mybirdcards.com

Wrapping up an inspiring two days at the #SEEC Summer Workshop in Houston. #Educators from across the globe collaborating, sharing ideas, and helping shape #SEEC2027. Excited to bring more #SpaceEducation inspiration to #students & communities🚀 @esa.int @nasaspaceflight.com @nasawatch.bsky.social

Off to Houston! Excited to join educators from across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, and beyond for a special #SEEC summer workshop at #SpaceCenterHouston. Looking forward to collaborating, learning, and bringing back new ideas for space and #STEM education. @space.com @nasaspaceflight.com

The Red-winged Blackbird’s bold red shoulder patches make it one of North America’s most iconic birds—and one of its most vocal marshland defenders. #BirdPhotography #RedWingedBlackbird #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @abcbirds.bsky.social @nycbirdalliance.org

The Black-throated Green Warbler (Setophaga virens) spends much of the breeding season searching conifer branches for insects. Its bright yellow face and black throat make it one of the easier warblers to identify. #BlackThroatedGreenWarbler #Birding #BirdPhotography @aba.org @mybirdcards.com

That’s my bird of the day as well… What a wonderful shot 💙💙💙

The Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea) appears brilliantly blue, but its feathers contain no blue pigment. Instead, the color is created by the way light interacts with the feather structure. #IndigoBunting #Birding #BirdPhotography @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @abcbirds.bsky.social @nature.org

A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) in Angelica, NY. The bold rose-red breast patch makes this one of North America’s most recognizable #Birding species. #RoseBreastedGrosbeak #BirdPhotography #JamesFallettiPhotography @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @abcbirds.bsky.social @nature.org

A Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) perched among the evergreens in Angelica, NY. With its sleek crest, black mask, and yellow-tipped tail, it’s easy to see why this bird is a favorite among #Birding & #BirdPhotography enthusiasts #CedarWaxwing #JamesFallettiPhotography @aba.org @mybirdcards.com

Two feeder favorites, one shot. A male #RoseBreastedGrosbeak and #PurpleFinch in Angelica, NY. Moments like this are why I love #Birding and #BirdPhotography. #JamesFallettiPhotography @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @abcbirds.bsky.social @audubon.org @nycbirdalliance.org @nature.org

Bird, bird, bird… bird is the word! 🎶🐦 A quick morning bird list from Angelica, NY, with a few bonus species tossed in for good measure. Not a bad way to start the day. #Birding #BirdIsTheWord #AngelicaNY #BirdWatching #JamesFalletti @aba.org @abcbirds.bsky.social @nature.org @audubon.org

Light #birding while #camping in upstate NY this weekend produced a nice mix of #species, but this morning’s highlight was an unexpected Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus). A great way to start the day. #BirdPhotography #Nature #JamesFalletti @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @audubon.org

A familiar spring migrant at Teaneck Creek Conservancy, the Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa solitaria) has been returning to these wetlands for several years during its journey north. #BirdPhotography #SolitarySandpiper #NaturePhotography #JamesFalletti @mybirdcards.com @aba.org @abcbirds.bsky.social

More nuthatch than warbler? The #BlackAndWhiteWarbler (Mniotilta varia) climbs up, down, & sideways along tree trunks, probing the bark for insects that other birds might miss #BirdPhotography #NewJerseyBirding #jamesfalletti @nature.org @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @abcbirds.bsky.social @audubon.org

Great Antshrike (Taraba major) during my trip to Colombia.

A #bird I wasn’t expecting to see at @teaneckcreek.bsky.social in late May—a #SavannahSparrow. These grassland specialists nest on the ground in dense vegetation and are often still #migrating north this time of year. A subtle bird, but a rewarding find among the grasses. @mybirdcards.com @aba.org

Native Plant Day at Richard W. DeKorte Park in #LyndhurstNJ celebrated the vital role #NativePlants play in supporting birds, #pollinators, and #wildlife across #NewJerseyNature. Thanks to everyone who joined the BCAS for a great day of #Conservation, community, and #BirdingNJ!

A flash of yellow in the forest understory. The #HoodedWarbler (Setophaga citrina) is known for the male's brilliant yellow face and bold black hood. 📍 Bergen County, NJ

Nature thrives because of diversity🌈 From the red of a Northern Cardinal to the purple of a Purple Finch, every color has its place. This #PrideMonth, let’s celebrate #biodiversity, inclusion, and the beauty of our differences #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #LoveIsLove @aba.org @nature.org

A flash of yellow among the greenery. The female Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) is a master of staying hidden, quietly hunting insects in dense cover. #CommonYellowthroat #BirdPhotography #NJBirding #JamesFalletti @aba.org @mybirdcards.com @abcbirds.bsky.social @nature.org
