Did a hike to maybe spot some birds, and ofc the endemic bird pops up near the parking lot as we were about to leave.

More photos of one of my favourite winter birds. These are the Canada Jays who live near the Wapusk dog yard near Churchill, Manitoba. They will start nesting at the end of February, beginning of March, still in the cold of winter. They rely on food cached in the fall to get them through. #birds 🌿
A grey and white jay looks quizzically into the distance from its perch on a black spruce. Close-up of a fluffy grey and white jay perched on the top of a black spruce on a cold, blue day. A bold grey and white jay perches on the black-wrapped handle of a dog sled on a sunny winter day.

There were 30-50 swallows at this pond and I did not get a good photo of a single one #birds
Two swallows flying low over a pond with gravel and leaf litter in the background. One swallow has its wings flapping up, while the other is banking with outstretched wings lit up by golden hour sun.

I got David Jonathan Ross's Warbler via his Font of the Month Club so I never saw the webpage for it until now. It's inspired by 1800s books and absolutely gorgeous. djr.com/warbler

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Big stretch!

A photo of a male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna), a very small bird with a long thin black beak, pale gray chest and belly, and bright iridescent reddish-purple head and throat. It is perched on a black cable with green foliage in the background, and it is stretching its wing and tail feathers out so they are spread behind it, in particular its tail making a wide fan shape.

Black bulbul staring at my camera going "what is that?" #birds
A black bird with spiked head and red beak and feet. It tilts its head away from its branch and through severalout-of-focus branches to look towards the observer. Another bird of the same species is mostly blocked by a different branch.

Big buddy movie energy #birds 🌿
A Common Raven and a Black-billed Magpie standing in the snow, facing opposite directions. The Magpie has a few white feathers in its beak and in front of the raven, the tip of a pigeon feather sticks out of the snow. They are nature’s clean-up crew.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art
