Teeny tiny towel STAT! This Northern Yellow Warbler is fresh from bathing and ready to dry off in the sun #birds

Three years ago I had the absolute honor to watch two Pileated Woodpecker males having a duel for over an hour. I took about a zillion photos so here’s a new one #birds 🌿

When u agree to a 2 owl photo shoot but want it all to yourself

kids are such picky eaters 🙄 #birds

Guarding the owlets from the harsh light of day. 🪶

Please enjoy this sparrow with a beak full of nesting fluff (maybe from a rabbit?) who looks like she's got a giant Dr Robotnik mustache #birds

Ummm, Ms Downy Woodpecker, why do all the Downys spend so much time on this branch? I did not realize that branch was very dead. 🪶

If I did know otherwise, I’d say Ravi is being all puffy chested proud that one of his kids followed him almost into our backyard!! This was earlier this morning in between takeout runs and he stopped for a minute to relax and warm up in the sunshine. #birds 🥰

Bald Eagles can have some stern looks at times, but this one might be the sternest. #TalonTuesday Lawrence Station, #NewBrunswick, Canada July 2025 📸 #birds #eagle #BAEA #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

The feeder cover is not in the frame, but in the hot sun the House Finches just hung out on top of the feeder in the shade while everyone finished eating, along with a Cardinal. 🪶

Unreal. A pair of Black-throated Blue Warblers visiting a feeder for Oriole's grape jelly! The females are rarely seen, very skulky, and so different from the males they were initially thought to be a different species. Thanks to my good friend Alice for sharing them with me! #birds #birding #HamOnt

Dad brought Junior by the buffet to teach him the ropes, today. Didnt see Mom but i bet she shows up with the rest of the kids. 🪶 Beebees! Squeeee!

I restocked my green anole on a porch rail pictures this afternoon. There were 2, but I missed one's red gorget display before it ran away. 🦎

I saw my first daylight barn owl yesterday. What a stunning bird! 🪶

You shall not pass! 🤣 #birds

There's a fledgling Roadrunner! 😍

I've been making interpretive signage both on my own and with the help of my friends for 15 years. I recently updated my map of all of my finished projects, and it's really something to see them all laid out like this. #SciArt www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

Mauve-lous Band-tailed knows how to find their light! #birds #becurious

No pictures today, but here are some favorites from this day last year. House Finches, a Cardinal, and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird 🪶

Last week I finally saw a Wilson's Phalarope, a lifer. Pretty bird! #birds #birding

Did Ravi come by for snacks and takeout while I was away today? Why yes he did! Connie got a nice video of him taking snacks up to the fence and even doing some cooing! We think we know who he was calling! At least 4-5 visits, some at very short intervals. 58 second video if you watch all of it. 🪶

EXCLUSIVE to the The Daily Plover. Also our reporter is stirring up bird shit with @latimes.com - the editorial board did not sign off on this messaging, but we do approve.

I edited this more than I normally do, but it might be the best killdeer picture I've taken in my life???? Due to my plover thread not showing videos, I'm including all the videos from today in this thread. 🪶 🐣

My little squirrel friend 🖤🐾

Eastern chipmunks! #Sqrlpix

COOP! Cooper’s Hawk with a prey item, giving me The Stink Eye #birds

time to take the pie out of the oven....bird.....OVENBIRD! new one for me...such an interesting gait...kind of bumbles along...very sweet! #birds

Bluesky came back! I'm saved from the depths of despair! My eyes were blurry after an eye exam, so I didn't know how long it had been out. I just wanted to look at nature photos even if words were a challenge. 😅🪶

Good morning! Cardinal 🪶

This guy was hanging with a group of males at my local creek. I’m hoping that means their mates are sitting on eggs somewhere! #MallardMonday #birds 🌿

Western tanager males in the garden this morning!! I was looking out my office window & saw them, ran out with camera. Also saw 2 females. Merlin app said they were around. Wet, cold, windy, overcast today. 43F so it was great to have this pop of color appear for a few minutes. #birds

House Finches 🪶

The littlest Gray Squirrel knew there a birdseed feeder on the tree but was too intimidated by a Red-winged Blackbird to try to steal any. 🦊🪶

Forecast: borb 🪶

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Ruffled feathers and the alt is #Songbird. This Cardinal songbird ruffled her feathers and returned to normal in seconds. 🪶

Let's go with the alt theme. Shot just yesterday, here's a hungry Song Sparrow fledgling being fed by a patient parent -- Brydon Lagoon, Langley, BC. May 2026 #BirdOfTheDay #songbirds #photography #birds

I'm never really surprised by the things a Downy Woodpecker does, but this approach to a suet feeder was unique. Now I realize in the warmer days the suet is melting a little onto the platform. When I tried a no melt suet last summer no one would eat it but I'm trying to leave it out for parents. 🪶

FLEDGLING BALTIMORE ORIOLE!! I certainly was not expecting that on my walk in the neighborhood! #birds 🌿

Barely blooming Prairie Flax this morning. It was windy and it was cold.

So I’ve been watching this Downey woodpecker female for a little bit and I believe what she is doing is, picking up tiny bits of peanut in her mouth to feed babies. Then she leaves the peanut she didn’t use on the limb, flies away for a few seconds, and then comes back to that peanut 🤷‍♂️🪶

The White-breasted Nuthatch came right down the side of the tree to go to the feeder and did not get lost in the leaves like the other birds. 🪶

Red- winged Blackbirds act like they're enjoying Alabama. Do they know it gets a little hot? 🪶

This was the cutest things I have ever seen! A pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers building their nest, taking turns, working on the nest for about 20 sec each time. She's gray, and he's bluish-gray, with Angry Bird eyebrows. They are slightly bigger than a hummingbird. Video next. #birds #birding

Here's a brief clip of the male Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher in action. Sorry for my shakiness! #birds #birding

Good morning! 🪶

Blue jays enjoying the birdbath today. #birds

The #birdoftheday theme is #WaterDroplets and I think this Black-crested Coquette fits the bill. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica #birds #hummingbirds

lots of lovely orange in the yard today☺️ #birds
