A Cetti's Warbler Cettia cetti on a branch of the storm-felled Horse Chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum in a small London park this morning. Since this tree was toppled by Storm Henk on 2nd January 2024, I have photographed 30 species of #birds on its branches.

These Pygmy Nuthatches visited our campsite's water spigot this morning at Tumalo State Park, Deschutes County, Oregon #birding

We were treated to a kiting exhibit put on by a group of Mountain Bluebirds at Tumalo Reservoir, Deschutes County, Oregon. I only noticed while going thru my pics that this one is banded! #birding

Black-necked Stilts flying formation over Klamath Lake, Oregon #birding

Prairie Flacon on a power pole crossbar. Klamath County Oregon #birding

Oak Titmouse, Ashland, Oregon. One of my favorite Jackson County #birds

Mallard Monday? Here’s a funny looking mallard. #birding #uglyduckling #eider

Hey Ashland! What’s good? #Shakespeare going to see Merry Wives of Windsor. First time to OSF since COVID.

I learned today that juvenile Caspian Terns have orange legs. Either that or this is one funny looking Mallard #birding

"No Dogs Please," quoth the Raven, nevermore. #birding

"Ok, no one look at the camera!" Caspian Terns at Social Security Beach, Clatsop County, Oregon

Parasitic Jaeger was our 325th Oregon #bird species for 2025. 3 to go to break our personal record...

I think of hummingbirds as tropical, or at least warmer weather birds...so this Rufous hummer at the top of Steens Mountain.9500 feet above sea level and next to a snowbank was a bit jarring. #birding

Rock Wren atop Steens Mountain, East Rim Harney County, Oregon #birding

Band-winged Meadowhaws are one of the few I can easily identify with the amber wing-patches. This one was at Benson Pond near Malheur NWR.

I listed 2 Calliope Hummingbirds last weekend, which tripped the eBird filter. The reviewer is a friend, and he saw my notes mentioning pictures and asked me to add a pic. #birding

Townsend's Solitaire, Malheur NWR Headquarters last weekend. I rarely get to see them this close. #Thrushday #birding

Lots of great Hawks in the skies near Steens Mountain, Harney County, Oregon. Left is a light-morph Ferruginous Hawk and right is a Red-tailed Hawk #birding

Suprise wildlife sighting this weekend was this American Badger in Harney County, Oregon.

We are used to seeing the Pacific group Orange-crowned Warblers in Western Oregon, but this is one of several Taiga or "Gray Headed" Orange-crowned Warblers we saw at Malheur Refuge Headquarters this weekend. #birding

Rufous in the petunias, Malheur NWR, Harney County, OR #birding

White-throated Swifts at the East Rim of Steens Mountain, Harney County, Oregon #birding

Dug out our books from the last Costa Rica trip to start studying. Looking forward to November! #birding Last time we were there (2016) I had nothing but an iPhone camera and binoculars!

#birders I just connected with @teachertom.bsky.social and he says this is the best place to get your copy of his new book: timberpress.com/titles/tom-m...

It's also available for pre-order on Bookshop or at any bookstore. bookshop.org/a/1509/97816...

Not a huge fan of Am*zon, but this book looks terrific and is written by a great #birding friend www.amazon.com/Birds-Pacifi...

#birders! Oh my god! I feel seen. Highly recommend this film. youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...

New woodpecker metal album just dropped

Another scraggly juvenile--this one a Common Yellowthroat. Lane County, Oregon Birding

Juvenile Wren, Lane County, Oregon #birding

Great Blue Heron, Oregon Coast #birding

I have a semi-leucistic Black-capped Chickadee that comes to my backyard fountain once or so a year, and I saw that one a few weeks ago, but this BCCH that appeared yesterday is the real deal for Leucism. #birding

We'd been out #birding all morning and came homw to a Wilson's Warbler in our back yard. He contemplated the fountain and then retreated to the neighbor's pear tree bramble.

The Greater Yellowlegs were out in force on Sauvie's today. #birding Portland, Oregon

Solitary Sandpiper, seen with a Greater Yellowlegs in first pic and landing with wings up (as they like to do) in second pic. Round Lake, Sauvie's Island, Portland, Oregon. This was my 312th species for Oregon in 2025 and 522nd for the world in 2025. #birding

I saw a few today at Sauvie's Island, Portland, Oregon. Pterodactyls! #birding

Drama plovers!!

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is😜

I need some help unpacking this sign. You need to remind people not to flush *what* down the toilet?

We were #birding Lane County, Oregon near Florence on the South Jetty Rd when this large mammal scared off all the birds! The nerve! I’ll post better pics when we get home.

Notice - Bird Mead Wildlife Area #Birds #Wisconsin

I can’t tell if this is Nicholas Cage or Andy Kaufman. Keep #portland weird!

Thanks to ‪PetaPixel‬ for spreading the word about AI photo theft. I know it is like a drop in the ocean and unlikely to change much, but it can at least encourage people to be more critical when viewing photos online. petapixel.com/2025/08/07/a... bsky.app/profile/wize...

What What? Wilson's Warbler's return to the yard. #birding This guy surprised me as I was sitting at my dining-room table working at my computer. It landed on scaffolding K has set up on the side of house for paint touch-up. I think it saw its reflection in the wiindow.
