Ok, Brain Trust. What critter is hanging out in my mom's garden in Edmonton? It clipped all the iris leaves and then made a cozy little impression in the middle.

Writer Julia Zarankin used to be a “normal person.” Now, she finds herself cancelling all non-bird-related social engagements, descending deeper into what experts call birder derangement syndrome. Here, she explores why she’s at her best when birding: thewalrus.ca/birding/

We’ve only crossed the “billion” threshold 1X before, in Oct. 23'. Last night, we rejoined the Billion Bird Night Club in spectacular fashion. Migration soared past 1.2 billion, marking the largest single night of bird migration ever recorded by BirdCast. Learn more: birdcast.info/news/a-new-r...
A new record night of migration for BirdCast!
Migration intensity goes off the charts, again, with a new record night of migration intensity for BirdCast!

Cuckoo Frederic is on the move and has crossed the Sahara! 🙌

Frederic had been hanging around in France while his fellow satellite-tagged Cuckoos had made it to Africa. He finally set off south around 17 September & he’s now conquered crossing the Sahara Desert in Africa! 🌍 #Ornithology #Birds

I was adjusting the exposure to capture the rain falling from these impressive storm clouds when an eagle soared into the frame.

A Plains Spadefoot Toad avoids awkward eye contact with me the best way it knows how - digging itself backwards into the sand. Ok, bye.

Just a normal amount of leg, totally normal.
The stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a small wader with extremely long red legs and a slender body. People must also have been impressed, because why else would they have named it after stilts?

These bird deterrents make great perches!
Our neighbours at the Banter See are no fan of the terns. Luckily the terns don't give a shit. Oh, or maybe sometimes they do. :-)

Red Knots returning from the Arctic. I don't usually see them at this spot during fall migration, so these four birds were on a lil adventure.

lots of Wilson's Phalaropes staging in southern Saskatchewan
July 20, 2025 at 11:19 PM
oh cool, did you see 181 birds?

each click actually represents 50 birds, so the flock was probably ~9000 strong. it's phalarope migration!
