The feeders were bustling with activity all day. I’d say the impending storm is going to be huge! 🪶

Bluebird duet. What do you think they’re singing? #EasternBluebird 🪶

My son tells me that today is Penguin Awareness Day, so I’m doing my part for the cause. Also, shout out to @heardislandgov.bsky.social. Flippers up, friends! 🪶

Last visitor of the day, every single day #NorthernCardinal 🪶

First time visitor #EveningGrosbeak #birds

Tell me it’s cold out without telling me it’s cold out. #NorthernCardinal 🪶

Introduce yourself with five facts. I am a: 1. Feeder of birds 2. Hugger of dogs 3. Reader of books 4. Writer of words 5. Giver of care

Is it me or does every book in existence now have a scene in which someone tucks a strand of hair behind someone else’s ear? Enough. Writers, for the love of all things holy, please delete it. It’s overdone. 📚💙

Bluebird, party of five? 🪶

Thanks, @weratedogs.com. I needed that.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongBeaks, so here is a picture of my girlfriend. Isn’t she lovely? #RedBreastedWoodpecker #birds

What Jim said, 100%.

Mabel hopes you had a good #TongueOutTuesday. She almost forgot to celebrate, but remembered at the last minute. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #goldenretriever

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MoodyFaces and this Common Grackle has some thoughts on the matter. 🪶

‘Zat you, @heardislandgov.bsky.social ?

Gen X friends: I asked my pcp to do a blood test for MMR titers because I’ve heard that the vaccine from our childhood might not have lasting power. She thought it wasn’t necessary but agreed to do it. Turns out, I have no immunity at all. Getting the MMR next week.

Bunny cam. Wait for it.

These are the small moments that sustain me.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #FeathersAndForm, celebrating the texture, pattern, and structure of feathers. This #MourningDove has a lot to celebrate. 🪶 #EastCoastKin

Good morning #sunrise

This little friend with the #ShortBeak is today’s entry for #BirdOfTheDay 🪶 #BlackCappedChickadee #EastCoastKin

Her name was Renee Nicole Good. 💔

Bonus #BirdOfTheDay scored a mealworm. #EasternBluebird #FoodFinds 🪶

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds. Here’s a female Northern Cardinal with a beak full of seed. 🪶 #EastCoastKin

Here’s a back view of a Downy Woodpecker for #BlackAndWhite, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. 🪶

This breaks my heart.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SpecklesAndSpots, so My Friend Flicka here has volunteered for duty. 🪶 #NorthernFlicker

Maybe we shouldn’t have gotten the refurbished model.

The birds are having some intense water cooler conversation today 🪶

Bluebird convention 🪶

Currently reading. (And falling in love.) #booksky 📚💙 @drkendracoulter.bsky.social

Yep. #GoldenRetriever #dogsofbluesky #dogsky #WordOfTheYear

Currently reading. So good. 📚💙

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdbutts or, as @robcrank68.bsky.social says, “rear of the year.” Here’s one of my favorites. #EasternBluebird 🪶

Remember last March when the FDA canceled the meeting of experts to select which strains of flu this year’s vaccine would cover? Remember how they had to choose somewhat blindly? Remember how I got a vaccine as soon as they were available? Yeah.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #outstretched. Here’s a White-breasted Nuthatch taking full advantage of it. 🪶

It seems I missed yesterday’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, which was #mostrecent — the most recent bird picture you have. Mine is of my girlfriend, my most favorite of favorites, the female Red-bellied Woodpecker. 🪶

Thank God It’s #FlyDay #EasternBluebird 🪶

Video footage from our yard last night. Blitzen… is that you?

These Christmas carolers visited today. Very good singers. #EasternBluebird 🪶

Do not miss Kumail Nanjiani’s new stand-up special on Hulu. Truly laugh-out-loud funny and also good for your soul. @kumail.bsky.social

House Finch, not to be outdone 🪶

Another #contrast picture, taken today. Merry Christmas! #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Contrast. My favorite contrast at this time of year is a red Northern Cardinal in the snow. Happy Holidays to @robcrank68.bsky.social, @alan678.bsky.social, and all the #EastCoastKin & #BOTD folks. Thanks for bringing so much joy to a hard year. 🪶
