You guys let me know when you get tired of Fox Sparrow pics. I took a bunch. โบ๏ธ Anyway, these guys always remind me of the Mona Lisa. Are they smiling, are they smirking? Why do their eyes seem to follow me? ๐

Sometimes astronomers are watching a star and it just...fades away. This star in the Andromeda Galaxy might have collapsed into a black hole. Or it might have merged with another star & kicked a huge cloud of dark dust. Either way, something strange going on. ๐งช๐ญ

Wonder if he's an Irish bird that didn't migrate south for winter, or a visitor from mainland Europe?

Credenza is a verb for the act of sampling food to prevent another person from becoming poisoned. Credenza became the name of the room and then the furniture and structures used for the act of Credenza. The furnitures and structures kept the name Credenza after the act of Credenza was stopped.

Corn Buntingโs status in Shropshire is โUncommon resident (declining)โ, with just 144 records submitted in 2023. Records of winter flocks or singing males during the breeding season are very helpful, please share by adding them to BirdTrack, eBird or iRecord.
