I was fully unaware of the raptor game that the Florida Keys delivers, holy hell! 🌿🪶

It was a raptor-y day in the keys 🌿🪶 Turkey vulture, bald eagle, merlin, American kestrel, Cooper’s hawk, osprey, and northern harrier!

Can’t resist posting this cutie! American kestrel, Everglades National Park 🪶🌿

Loggerhead shrike alert today in the Everglades! 1 of my 10 lifers from the day 🪶🌿

Or dis dawg? 🦑🌿

Can I pet dat dawg? 🐊🌿 Stay tuned for lots of Florida birds 🪶

#animalcommunication A different view on #acoustic #signals used as part of #animal #contests - after rather than before or during the fight. #birds #mammals @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

Molly the #bioacoustics #corgi joined, too!

🦇🌙⛏ IT'S SPOOKY SEASON 🎃💀🕷 When you study #bioacoustics and #bats, there is always an appropriate Halloween outing! This year, we went to the Mønsted limestone mine, a 60-km-long man-made cave system and THE place to be for winter hibernation (9000 bats surely can't be wrong!).

Oh. My. God. What a day in the Puget Sound. 73 Endangered Southern Resident Orcas swam past Point Robinson Lighthouse on Vashon Island. Here is one breaching with a salmon in its mouth. 🦑

How it started vs. how it’s going Today I passed the final step toward candidacy, my proposal defense, after completing my comps this past spring. It’s official! 🥹🧪 #PhDlife

“Don’t f*cking take one step closer!” #Birds 🪶

Quiet, I'm hunting here

"Back off, lady! I don't need your help. Do you know who my parents are!"

“I will cut a bitch.”

I have a lot of angry bird shots -- rehabbing raptors do not appreciate your efforts -- but Red Shoulders really always are the angriest looking.

woke up on the wrong side of the bed

@daryllmarie.bsky.social Me and my besties discuss the news and then we scream into the effin’ void #birds&curses 📷🪶🤬

"your ass is mine" - the owl your kid loves 🪶

God DAMN it, babe, will you slow down?! You KNOW my legs are shorter than yours!

Kiss my ass 🪶 📷 #wildlife #nature

Seriously, what the f*ck do you want?! #BirdsCursing

FML 🪶

"Hey! I'm walkin' here! I'm walkin' here! Up yours, you son-of-a-bitch! You don't talk to me that way! Get out of here!" #grouse

"it's fuckin' cold" #birds

“This is mine buddy, get the f out of here” #birds #cursing #hawk #raptor #birdofprey

What the f#ck are you looking at? This guy looked pretty mad for a moment here 🪶

Tell me you fucking didn’t.

Wait a second... wtf are you talking about?? 🪶

To quote my favorite @effinbirds.com shirt: "Oh my god! What the fuck!" 🪶

A special Birds Feed prompt from @daryllmarie.bsky.social: birds and cursing! Share an angry bird & the curse you feel it embodies. A Carolina Wren always hits up the feeders with the Get out of my *%$* way attitude. 🪶

"the fuck did you just said to me??"

"Hey, buddy! Stop staring at my fucking cloaca. The eyes are up here!"

This feeder ain't big enough for the both of us 🪶

Common raven is uncommonly angry

"Don't you f*cking make me f*cking come the f*ck over there, you f*cking f*ck!" In my mind, Pied-billed Grebes get extra sweary when you aggravate them into standing up on their awkward little legs.

We're sharing angry birds and the curses they embody. This gull is very clearly cursing the heron for refusing to share. #birds

i'm sorry, eastern screech owl, i didn't want to bother you in your little hole!!

She isn't cursing because there are children present, but she IS saying "CAN I EVER JUST HAVE A LITTLE PRIVACY?"

the dismissive staring is just insulting. 🪶

"OK, you came, you saw nature, now GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FOREST!" 🌿📷🦉 (birds and cursing prompt for the bird feed)

If stink eye was a bird. Golden crowned kinglet, Cook Co. Il., 10/25

Fuck. This. In. Particular.

Oh my fucking god, I ordered the boneless filet!!! 🪶 @daryllmarie.bsky.social @banditelli.org
