Can you believe this little fella with the stubby beak (and tail) is a woodpecker? One of the smallest—Olivaceous piculet. Costa Rica, March 2025.

It remains a mystery how the @nytimes.com comes up with its headlines. Today’s lead editorial had a headline so inane (and ungrammatical) I nearly skipped it. The actual piece has a much better headline and some punch. Why do they play the fool?…

#handsoff Boston. Too many marchers to fit on City Hall Plaza. All kind, patient, and determined!

@nytimes.com, will you never stop being a journalistic embarrassment?

Little can take on big with enough guts and determination. Great Kiskadee has Yellow-headed Caracara backing off. A good lesson for our times? 🪶

Trying not to think about US politics on a birdwatching trip to southern Costa Rica. I much prefer the cuckoos here than the ones ruining our poor country. This one is a striped cuckoo. 🪶

Even ordinary backyard birds console. Set up my trail cam to catch these city dwellers. Northern mockingbird, American robin, mourning doves.
