Have not heard many birds this winter. Ran outside as soon as I heard these sweet noises. #birding Did you know that small songbirds migrating through an unknown area will join their flocks? Their calls are widely understood by the bird world and alarm others of danger. @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Obsessed with gargoyles and chimeras. Spotted this chimera at the DEN airport. It is called Notre Denver by artist Terry Allen. Loved that it looked part bird. 🐦‍⬛ Did you know that it is only a gargoyle if it has a water spout?

Authors, please write for those who can't. Share their stories. Expand minds. It is a privilege to wield such a weapon (mighty pen), while tucked under warm covers away from harm. A debt of gratitude is owed to librarians, for providing safe retreats in this crazy world. #protectbooks #booksky 💙📚

Listening to a symphony of European starlings and American robins from my porch. #birding with @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social
