RCBO’s gull banding season is off to a hot start! Zane scoops and scores in the midst of 50mph Lake Ontario winds. Easy as.

That face you make when you’ve been caught for the third time and you’re summoning the evil spirits of your owl ancestors to curse your strange unfeathered captors for eternity

That face you make when you get busted for murdering a vole and the evidence is splattered all over your bill but you’re so drunk with blood lust you don’t even care

And check out this impeccable description (complete with field sketch) of my lifer Jabiru. These are better than the field notes I take now as a professional ornithologist. “As tall as my dad!” 😂 (2/2)

I’m entering some historical eBird records and had to dig deep for these ones. I found my lifer King Vulture in my journal from when I was eight and lived in Mexico. And I scored an ocelot on that same day! Helluva day for young Danny boy! (1/2)

Another criminal owl off the streets. We won’t stop until every last one of them is behind bars.

Just got an email from a very concerned woman about a loon that has been hanging out on the lawn outside her office.

Just a quick reminder that asities exist. Endemic to forests of Madagascar, they construct pendulous nests and would like you to know that, yes, they know they have a little something on their face.
