Testing out today how well the new phone can record bird videos and wow, not bad at all. Used a gimbal for stabilizing but otherwise stock camera app. The real challenge now is identifying this: Sharp-shinned or Cooper’s Hawk? #birds #birding

Picked up this album last weekend “A Tapestry of British Bird Song” #birdsong #birds

Chaos! This *incredible* new #jwst image shows shells of dust emitted over the last 700 years by a system of 3 aging stars. The 2 main stars tear through space at an astonishing ~2000 MILES PER SECOND, whereas the 3rd star cuts through the dust like a knife. More: science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

Research aimed at reducing conflict between humans and gulls has shown that Herring Gulls recognize and react to angry, raised voices. #ornithology

The province of #Ontario has posted for comment plans to amalgamate the conservation authorities, open for comment until Dec 22. I’m not sure why amalgamation, considering what happened when they did this with municipalities. Hopefully w/feedback they will reconsider ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-1...

Wow is blue sky super broken lately? I can’t seem to take or upload video, and searches on the topic just time out. Tried to login to Flashes but it doesn’t support custom handles I guess, only .bsky.social handles 🤔

Low light capabilities of modern phones is wild

🔊Go listen to Marco's awesome new podcast on bioacoustics! I might be partial, but both guests ( @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social & @mhoeschele.bsky.social ) are beyond amazing💚🎶

This new phone of mine can do a decent bird photo if the bird is fairly close up. 🪶 Yellow-rumped Warbler at McMaster University’s west campus this morning. #YellowRumpedWarbler #birding

Catbirds, White-throated Sparrows, a whole lot of insects, and maybe an owl? The 2025 Songbirding Halloween Special is out 🎃🪶 pnc.st/s/songbirdin...

It's been a few years since a new Hallowe'en Songbirding Special.. but before a new one comes out.. here's a few you can enjoy from past years.. 🪶 👇

TONIGHT - Bird Study Group: Researching & Writing the Birder Murder Mysteries Steve Burrows will share a light-hearted look at his path from birder and environmental journalist to author of a best-selling series. 📅 Oct 27, 2025 | 7:30 - 9PM 📍 170 Dundurn St S, #HamOnt 🔗 Livestream: buff.ly/libjr2i

Apparently Snow Buntings have sold out to corporate interests 🪶

Weird #Wrensday story. I do a quick search on my Mac for "wren", and this *screenshot* comes up. No filename at all that indicates it is a wren. MacOS is now scanning files and identifying birds on its own 😱 🪶 (To be fair it also included a rather wren-like thrush in the results.. but still.. wow!)

Toogle loves carving pumpkins! 🎃 Come see him and other Zoo Boise animals receive Halloween treats, plus trick or treat stations, costume contests, and lots more fun on Saturday, Oct. 25 and Sunday, Oct. 26 for Boo at the Zoo, presented by Delta Dental of Idaho. 🎥: So. ground hornbill enrichment

New episode - a companion piece to the previous episode, the focus of this episode is the Sedge Wren. This may be the only episode focused on a single individual bird, not just a species! #birds #birdsong #FieldRecording pnc.st/s/songbirdin...

Wow Apple. Fishing is exercise but birding is not? 😒

A new episode is out, focused on the Marsh Wren. Recorded over the course of several days (and years, I guess!) at Taquanyah Conservation Area near Cayuga, Ontario. Sort of a two-parter. At the end you'll understand why. #birds #birdsong #nature #soundscapes #FieldRecording pnc.st/s/songbirdin...

I'm Lauren, a biologist and illustrator with @instbirdpop.bsky.social . I work in songbird population monitoring & demographics. I band birds, teach bird banding classes, and operate stations in Yosemite and on Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands! & then I get to illustrate for our publications!

File this under "I don't understand the algorithm" This feed has been up under the new channel for one day. It's already 1/3rd of the way to beating how many views/listens the podcast had on YT when mixed with my videos. 🤷‍♂️ (It's nothing huge, and the views are concentrated on random episodes.)

When Google Podcasts shut down, podcasters were forced to move to YouTube Music Podcasts (so confusing!) and it was not made clear that adding an audio podcast to a channel would flood your video channel with audio content, so I've moved Songbirding audio podcast to its own channel.

Genuinely baffled as to why the Buffalo Bills are posting this birding content. Not mad, just confused. Philadelphia Eagles long play? www.instagram.com/reel/DPU8uW3...

Ahhhh it's the winter finch forecast! So exciting. Looking forward to the upcoming Hot (Cold?) Redpoll Winter! 🪶 #birds #birding #WinterBirding #finches #nature finchnetwork.org/winter-finch...

Between seasons, there will be some special Songbirding episodes. A few will be single-species focus for species that haven't been well covered in the last few years. This week starts with the Orchard Oriole! #birding #birds #birdsong #OrchardOriole #FieldRecording pnc.st/s/songbirdin...

Tonight and tomorrow night are quite favourable for nocturnal songbird migration, with light winds and clear skies. Expect a good surge of migrants moving into the weekend

So against my better judgment I'll probably watch this. I worry, though. www.hallmarkchannel.com/adventures-i...
