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

There’s a vet office down the road from my place and they have a billboard that they always put dumb jokes or phrases on. The current one is “whiskers on fleek, holiday chic” 🤣

I know I am on the young end of this to be happening, but man hot flashes SUCK.

We had to say goodbye to Truffles today. I hope you’re hanging out with Devo and your sister again now. I love you my sweet old (18 1/2 years) lady. 🥺

Been a minute since I’d seen a Loggerhead Shrike. 🪶

I’m looking forward to the four day weekend coming up. I do not feel like being at work at all this week though. 😂

Big surprise. The corruption is baked in.

YEAAAAAH!!!

THE SKY IS ON NOTICE: The best time to see it is the next several hours. Go find pretty sky! share in a moment with humanity that isn't sadness and rage! www.gi.alaska.edu/monitors/aur...

If you spot two male Northern Flickers facing off, bills raised and calling “wicka,” you’re seeing their famous wicka dance! This flashy display helps them defend territory and sometimes impress a nearby female. Most duels end peacefully when one flicker outdances the other winning the territory.

Happy Exploding Whale Day for those who celebrate :)

Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species. There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

A Winter Wren trying to figure out how to best eat a spider. 😂 🪶 #birds #birding

A cutie Pine Warbler from today. He was mere feet from me. 🪶

Talamanca Hummingbirds were Magnificent Hummingbirds when last we visited. They are still magnificent despite the name change. This female was determined to get every last drop of nectar from this flower just outside our bungalow, just minutes ago. #birding #CostaRica Also: THOSE FEET!

I hate this time change. I’d rather it still be dark in the morning than the sun setting at 5pm.

lmao 💀

Young Common Yellowthroat out in the open. I cherish these moments. 😂 🪶

So how much is everyone’s health insurance premiums and deductibles going up next year? I’ll be paying an extra $50 a month for a deductible that is $500 higher than it is this year.

Officially in my late 30s as of yesterday. 🤪 Here’s me and the flamingo I fed.

I got to feed a flamingo today. 🪶

Not a bird… a flying squirrel!

Does anyone know what happened to the Lightroom mobile app? Why is it absolute garbage now?

It's only been a few days since Sora was released and I'm already SO DONE with the number of fake wildlife videos flooding social media. Comments like "I didn't know a deer could do that"-- they can't! They can't do that! See the Sora logo, it's fake!

Cameron and I went and carved pumpkins with goats today.

My partner isn’t a birder, but he sure is a keeper!

The University of Glasgow groundspeople are going to be quite annoyed when they come in to work tomorrow...

I am quickly learning that being a supervisor means there’s always at least one person pissing you off.

This is about 100 minutes worth of bird migration paths directly over my house, played back in just under one minute. Captured in infrared around 1am last night (October 2nd). Approximately 10 degree field of view, looking straight up. The occasional bat too! Most birds heading southwest. #birds

My mom just sent me this photo of my 18 year old cat, Truffles, and man she does not look as old as she is. 😻

I miss the pnw so much

Well we got smoked out at work today (everyone’s fine, AC unit broke and sent smoke through all the vents), so we got to go home early. Can’t complain about that during fall migration! 😂
