Fledgling (12/14)

It's only June and I already miss seeing #juncos

The bright red eyes of the black-crowned night heron are so cool 📷 Canon 5D Mark III Canon 400mm f/5.6L USM M, f/5.6, 1/800, ISO 400, 400mm 7/1/18 Northern California @canonusa.bsky.social #birds #bird #photography #ornathology #birdphotos #nature #naturephotography 🦜 🦉 🦅 🐤 🐦 🦚 🪶

These birds, I saw in Fort Bragg, CA on a trip up route 1. They were huddled together with Black Turnstones. As the sun hit them they got more active. The Surfbirds, started interacting. First with their heads down, then the open mouth chat. #Shorebird #Surfbird #Sketchpage #NatureIllustration

happy mothers day 🪺

Some recent lifers from this year's migration season: Purple Gallinule, Swainson's Warbler, Worm-eating Warbler, Snowy Egret #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography

IT'S MIGRATION SEASONNNNNNN AHHHHHHH #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography

Cool colors, killer crest. Steller’s Jay all the way! #thursjay #birds #bird #nature #wildlife #photography

New study finds where birds are declining most. High trend resolution data reveals complexity of bird population changes. “This is the first time we’ve had fine-scale information on population changes across such broad spatial extents and across entire ranges of species,” said Dr. Amanda Rodewald.

Some dramatic poses in the backyard today. You *got* peanuts. Why the face? 📷🐦🪶 #birds

psst, you got any of that good seed? #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography

Black-necked Stilts goin' buck wild #birds (Yes, it's just a picture of my computer screen, I've been slacking on editing photos. Soon, though.)

I wanted to put these three larger songbirds together to help show their differences. These birds are generally rufous with checked breasts, and skulky, so you get fleeting views of them as they forage. These birds are the Hermit Thrush, the Brown Thrasher and the Fox Sparrow.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

Every now and then they *do* pause to think! Dang they are hard to follow 😂 Ruby-crowned Kinglet #birds #becurious

It’s #BirdCast season, baby! These early stages of migration will be short distance migrants and “hardy” species that can push north early. Think sparrows, sapsuckers, Hermit Thrush, kinglets, Yellow-rumpeds, etc. #birds #spring #migration

They act as a buffer zone that absorbs heavy rains and prevents flooding, they filter toxins out of the water before it becomes drinkable or reaches other bodies of water, they are an important habitat to countless wildlife which enriches our lives and causes us to feel joy and hope.

American Avocets' habitat are wetlands that are shallow. This is a species that could be negatively impacted by the redefining of wetland. Wetlands are see as useless land because they are difficult to be built upon, but they are offer us so many benefits.

I learned today that @vicmmic.bsky.social loves #birds and I'm so happy that they're one of us 🐦

I MEAN LOOK AT THEM CUTIES

🪶 A male Ruddy Duck preening in breeding plumage. It's rare for me to see these ducks out of the water!

I love Buffleheads. That's it. That's the post.

guys do you think his camouflage is working?

Bluebirds were the most common visitors to my feeders at the old house. I don't get them much anymore now that I'm deeper in the city. #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography

Then I saw these round birds: my lifer Sharp-tailed Grouse. Puffing up into a sphere is a smart way to resist the deep freeze. Look at these perfect dinosaurs.

I took a very long drive for some round birds. These are Willow Ptarmigans up in Quebec, aka Awebo birds. I love them so much.

Happy valentimes! #oldknees
