Hey #ornithology Bluesky! Is there an ornithologist out there who'd be up for being interviewed for a piece on how people can help birds that nest in their yards? Dos and don'ts for providing nest boxes, providing nesting material, ensuring safety from predators, etc?

Have you already seen a Horned Lark this year? Where and when?

Thanks. Sweet song too.

Great bird to hear and see. This one was with a small flock on San Diego bayside beach. 🪶

A horned lark in a snowy farm field in #Ontario #Canada. The horned lark is the 2026 ABA Bird of the Year. Not always an easy bird to find but a thrill when you do. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding #wildlife #photography #nature #birdphotography @aba.org

Mute yet stunning!

Rob has chosen #Reflections for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here's a mute swan that was on the River Wensum yesterday.

Added to our #BirdsSeenIn2026 year list is this group of mute swans in flight over Lake Ontario near Ajax. A very cold breeze from the north, but the swans had no problem flying head-on into the wind. #birds #birding #birdphotography #ontario #Canada @birdscanada.bsky.social

First white-tailed deer sighting of 2026. Very cold winter morning but the three deer were out in the bush looking for breakfast. #mammals #deer #wildlife #Wildlife #Ontario #Canada

A Common Goldeneye along the ice on Lake Ontario for #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography #ontario #Canada 🍁

I know! 😢 But still so sadly adorbs! 😆

But still SO cute!

They resemble a fisher.

One cannot be fooled by the Pine Marten’s appearance, for these carnivores are quite ruthless. They administer a quick and powerful bite to the back of the neck of whatever prey they can catch. #wildlife #pinemarten #algonquinpark #nature frametoframe.ca/pine-martens...

Lark Sparrow, never common or even uncommon in New York City, is a great way to start the #brooklynbirding year! #birdsseenin2026 #birding This individual seems to be trying to make it through the winter - although it hadn’t been seen since 11/23 I’m certain it’s the same #bird reported then!

I hope you guys like owls! There may be a few posts about these Australian Boobooks that roost in our Perth Hills garden… they are just so magnificent 😍 It was hot today (40°C 🥵), this owl was feeling the heat so holding its wings away from its body 🪶 #ausbirds #wildoz #owls #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds

Very pleased to come upon a small group of Pine Siskins yesterday in Ontario, Canada. #BirdsOf2026 #BirdOfTheDay #birds #nature #birding #Ontario #Canada

Yikes. Looks like humans fighting over Boxing Day specials at Walmart!

With the changing weather every few days, squirrels in my neighbourhood have been frantic -- when they're out and about at all.

Christmas is over and it's time for Prancer to go for a run. Nothing like getting back down to earth after a hard days work. “On, Dasher! On, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen and let us not forget Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! #nature #wildlife #deer

We happened upon this white-tailed deer on a blind corner getting a drink along the roadway. One more reason to stick to the speed limit. #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Canada #deer

This American Robin is making the best of what food is available at this time of year. It along with others is in our backyard partaking of a frozen fermented apple. Hiccup! #birds #birding #winter #nature #birdphotography

Tough weather for this deer mouse to be on the hunt in the snow for breakfast. #nature #winter #wildlife

What a fabulous day!

Lil buddy’s looking at you with that camera like a librarian does when we make noise lol

🥰 The very best owls.

Always a thrilled to see one owl but to see three Northern Saw-whet owls on one hike was just amazing. #birds #owls #birding #birdphotography #nature #Ontario #Canada

absolutely stunning.

On one visit to Amherst Island in Ontario, Canada, the Snowy #Owls we sighted were occupying the east end of the island. Amherst Island lies in Lake Ontario west of Kingston & 3 kilometres offshore, you reach it via a ferry. frametoframe.ca/snowy-owls-o... #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography

We went in search of a Snowy Owl, but it was the Common goldeneye ducks that "stole the show!" #birds #birding #birdphotography #nature

😱😱😱

😮Awesome photo!😍

One snowy owl encounter we will not forget soon. It was sitting on a signpost as we moved toward it; only the flash of its yellow eyes gave it away. #birds #birding #winter #birdphotography #nature #Canada

I always think I should be prepared to yell “TIMBER” 😂

Nice capture… to me it’s always a slow powerful deep thunk thunk thunk, it’s how I can always tell them apart from the downy, hairy, red bellied woodpeckers and yellow bellied sapsuckers that frequent my yard.

It's a cold winter day, and off in the distance we heard the tap, tap, tapping of a woodpecker. We soon came upon this Pileated Woodpecker working on a new home. #birds #birding #Ontario #Canada #birdphotography #woodpecker

It was exhilarating skating around the huge ice surface within sight of the snow-covered mountains at Lake Louise. frametoframe.ca/ice-skating-... #winter #skating #Canada #landscapephotography

We were amazed that several of the Clark's Nutcrackers were brave enough to snap up a peanut from our outstretched hands. frametoframe.ca/clarks-nutcr... #birds #nature #birdphotography
