Just watched a couple of Brown-headed Nuthatches get it on. Also there’s a singing Fox Sparrow that won’t show itself.

hey, this is pretty neat!

Well it’s official. Flights booked for a trip to South Korea in April!

Quote post w ur hawtest selfie. Been growing out my hair and got it cut into a shape again. It was starting to look like a mushroom prior.

Our backyard Grackles! They’ve been roosting here every night for weeks now.

A study I led came out in Nature Cities yesterday! We used radar to study the role that urban landscapes play in migratory bird stopover. Spoiler: birds use cities a lot, and the patterns of their use reflect social processes and the inequities embedded in them. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

He’s just a lil guy, having fun 🥹

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #PeacefulSolitude so here’s a Cape May Warbler chilling out on an icy day. 🪶

In Finland, rewetting forestry-drained peatlands could yield climate benefits within decades, a new study by @teemutahvanainen.bsky.social in @restorationecology.bsky.social suggests.

Spot the one Eared Grebe in the group of Horned Grebes 👀 new state bird this weekend. 🪶

Huh 🤔

I was a bit cold on the FBC walk this morning… 🤣

This little dude came RIGHT UP TO MY FEET shortly after taking this photo and I’m very upset I did not get a video of said encounter. 😂 Ruby-crowned Kinglet. 🪶

The Great Backyard Bird Count is February 13-16 this year. Starting right *NOW* however is a great webinar about how to participate and why joining this global community science event is important for bird conservation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhB4... #GBBC

I am prefacing this by saying that I am known to dislocate my shoulders on a semi regular basis and it usually is not a problem. No pain, goes back on its own. However yesterday I dislocated one of them and I am in a lot of pain with certain movements. The joys of aging! 😬

We did finally get some last night. Just a couple inches which is pathetic next to the rest of the state 😂

Did see a mink run across the frozen sections of the lake today though!

Man this is bullshit. I wanted the snow!

Doesn’t matter if you’re a US citizen or “legal”, if AI facial recognition says you’re not, you’re gone. Anyone but especially people of color in the United States is at risk of being disappeared to a distant concentration camp at any time

#BirdOfTheDay today is #FavoriteOfTheMonth so here’s some shots I got of a Northern Mockingbird getting ready to pluck a berry off a juniper tree. 🪶

Eastern Bluebird getting a drink off a manhole cover this past weekend. Seems to have been the only water not frozen! 🪶

Northern Mockingbirds are also borbing out in this weather. What a cutie! 🪶

I do not understand why we are open today, we have not had a single client come through lmao

Some fun snowflakes from the #winterstorm today.

Well I was not expecting to see one of these guys today. What are you doing here now?? Cape May Warbler. 🪶

The ice has started

#BirdOfTheDay with some Wilson’s Phalaropes walking (in circles, of course 😂). 🪶

The Boundary Waters, one of the largest wilderness areas left in the US, is at risk! The House could vote to overturn a ban on polluting sulfide-ore mining at the headwaters TODAY, setting a precedent for extraction on other public lands. Contact your reps right now and ask them to vote NO on HJ140!

We’ve got two very different predictions for this weekend’s winter storm…

Ngl lie y’all, I’m pretty homesick for Oregon.

Found a leucistic Dark-eyed Junco today. 🪶

🫠

One of the first birds I photographed in 2026 was this pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. 😍 🪶

Last bird photographed in 2025 was this adorable little murder bird. A male American Kestrel! 🪶

I’m a little late with the new years posts so here’s my #facefriday from NYE. I need to get my hair thinned out, I’m starting to look shaggy.

Alright alright

🤔

Just a MacGillivray’s Warbler in North Carolina in December. A cool find today, and my first time actually photographing this species (despite seeing them the years I lived in Oregon 😂). 🪶

Merry Christmas! I’ve been busy moving (finally settled in) so haven’t been doing much birding. Here’s a Northern Flicker! 🪶

#BirdOfTheDay #WinterBirds Going with "Classic Winter Bird + Surprise! Winter Bird" (well, not a surprise in my yard, but often surprising to folks) #becurious #birds🪶

We lept out early and #birded all day, nearly 300 miles and 16 hours. Saw several first-of-year species and took some nice photos. Here's a Western Kingbird we saw in Warm Springs, Oregon, More pics tomorrow, including some hard-to-see woodpeckers!

I don’t know how your northerners do your Christmas Bird Counts out in the snow. Did one yesterday with a high of 41°, though it felt much colder wort the wind chill. 🥶

I love Cedar Waxwings. They’re such beautiful birds. Here’s one actually in a cedar tree! 🪶

Good morning! 🪶

Audubon's Christmas Bird Count starts this Sunday and runs through January 5th. This is a 126-year tradition that has built a critically important, long-term dataset on bird populations across the US and much of the western hemisphere. It's also fun and wholesome. www.christmasbirdcount.org

Man moving suuuucks

Here’s an Eastern Bluebird chowing down on some cedar berries. 🪶
