Wild Bird Acoustics Season 3 has now been edited, completed and uploaded! Some new features include longer sound magazines, with more continuity as regards storylines and commentary. High quality audio and a lot of work done in woodland, beaver wetlands and with autumnal migration.

The trumpeting call of a Sandhill Crane hanging in the air. I heard a Sandhill Crane pair calling down the trail and wondered if I could see their call in the current conditions.I quickly tootled over to the Cranes, working to get an angle of where their call could be seen

Fish on! Bald Eagle hooks a good fish! #birds #BaldEagle

Day 19 of #InsectAdvent Santa has a sac full of presents, so does Villa cingulata but hers is full of sand. Her sac is at the end of her abdomen & here she is twerking to get the sand to coat her eggs (on exit) to prevent desiccation - cool mum 😎 @royentsoc.bsky.social @dipterists.bsky.social

Very said discovery today. Found the white squirrel dead. I really enjoyed seeing him around daily. No idea what happened. No wounds.

What a day of college football.

This male Giant Cowbird was doing a bit of courtship display today here in southern Costa Rica. I never saw the female. #birds #nature

I have a 9 yr old niece who’s crazy about space and the planets. I’m the uncle that always gifts books. Any recs for a unique and engaging book for her?

Question for bird and/or invertebrate folks 🪶🪲 Why do the birds around me not eat the dozens and dozens of harvestmen that are always all over my house siding? #invertebrates #birds #inverts

Some bright news

A leucistic wood duck showed up at the local lake. #🪶 #birding #nature #wildlife

I really like this series of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet I had the shutter speed at 1/800 (which is really slow for birds in flight) but its head is perfectly motionless. An all day non-stop Aphid buffet. Many more photos to share of these amazing birds. #birds #parkdale #rubycrownedkinglet

I’m sorry it’s so blurry, but check out these Northern Flickers doing their territorial stand off dance 🪶

1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025 In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest. What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world. She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

On my walk today down this country road, the sunset lit up these kudzu tendrils and their yearning to spread seemed especially pressing 🌿

I led a nature walk today at Burnaby Lake, British Columbia. We heard Pacific treefrogs but didn't see any. Then after the walk I saw this tiny guy (~2cm) perched on top of a black-eyed Susan in the rain. #herps 🐸 🌿 #frog #treefrog

Did u know? Hydrangea flowers are usually sterile & so don't provide food for pollinators, however they come into their own as beautiful overwintering homes for all sorts of small souls. Don't snip off your seed heads/spent flowers/spent leaves - what's "messy" to us, is home to someone else. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🪲🌍

A breakfast gathering... #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin

This morning I heard the dreaded sound of a bird strike on one of my windows. I investigated & found this stunned yellow-billed cuckoo. I gathered it up gently and let it recover on my porch rail, an easier launch point. After about 15 min, it flew away. High fives!

Honestly, the only thing I miss about the old place is being able to reliably discuss college football or trash talk other college football fans

Flip Pallot was a legend. So I wrote about him. jasonherbert.substack.com/p/flip-pallo...

Crap. Flip Pallot died. What a force of a man, in his own small niche way. Look him up if you’re unfamiliar.

I’ve enjoyed playing with gouache for this silly idea. Biggest problem I have now is getting these to scan accurately. #art

It’s always a little thrill to spot a Red Velvet Ant…which is a wasp. So fast. (My finger for scale) 🪲

Not sure what this assassin bug is carrying. Maybe a leaf scale insect? 🪲

Do I have any marine science peeps here that are in the DC/Baltimore area? @drandrewthaler.bsky.social would you be willing to talk with a recent masters grad about opportunities in the area. Can I DM you about him? He has a special story and I'd like to help him any way I can.

This house finch ran into my glass door. She was stunned, but eventually flew off. While she cleared the cobwebs I got this portrait. 🪶
