Sorting stuff into albums, I found my favorite Hummingbird video. It was in September 2022 not long before they migrated south. I did actually live outside that month. 🪶🌱 #birds #FlowerReport

There was sunshine today and the House Finch claimed the finch feeder. The Chipping Sparrows seem to believe it beings to them. 🪶

Tuesday was rainy, and gloomy, but a good day to watch the feeder under a cover to see how many small birds would squeeze in. 🪶
It was a dreary rainy day. The maple tree has lost almost all its leaves with some evergreens in the background. There were dark clouds behind three deodar cedars. One house finch and two chipping sparrows are in a cage feeder as a house finch sits on top a another leans in. There is a wet blue cover over it. In different poses, there are two sparrows and a house finch in the feeder with one finch on top and one on the side.

Once upon a time a Carolina Wren sat quietly and every other time they did not.

On the edge of the Atlantic #birdoftheday #birds
Sanderling at golden hour, standing amidst surf bubbles, facing right. The bird is standing as tall and proud as I’ve ever seen a sanderling stand (nice tongue twister huh). Her head is high and her legs are stretched. She is in winter plumage: white below, white neck, white nape, with wings and crown flecked in black. She has a faint broad smudgy eye line and black legs. The sand is steel blue in the sunset and the surf bubbles are white with a brown-yellow tint.

Oh my goodness, I almost missed that today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HangingAround, birds at unusual angles. 'Apapane are superb at Bird Yoga, as this young one is showing, sipping Pukiawe flowers. 🦉🌿📷

Most of my life has been rage, bitterness, and exhaustion. It's good to have been able to find a place near the end of the Earth to slow down and chill.

I hope you can find that near the end of wherever you are.

In the meantime, enjoy tonight's pelican festival 🪶

We have some farms west and south of our local conservancy that attract a few migrators every year. There were a few dozen on Saturday. Here is a very large male who was standing tall over all the migrators watching over things and his female. Both beautiful Sandhills!

One handy-dandy aspect of red cardinaless is how well they contrast with browns, grays, twigs and pond water ....

The #BirdOfTheDay theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social is "hanging around" or unusual angles. The answer to that is usually a Tufted Titmouse. #birdbutt #birds
A tufted titmouse is playing under a porch glider. A curious tufted titmouse leans over the side of a hummingbird saucer feeder to see if he can get some that way. The tufted titmouse is on top of a red hummingbird saucer feeder looking cutely at the photographer inside a house. A birdbutt seen as the tufted titmouse gracefully leans into a cage feeder.

For #Twosday here are 2 scared little Chipping Sparrows. In between rain showers the feeders were busy until the rain returned. Then I spotted these Chippers. As 5 minutes went by I realized they must have frozen after hearing a predator. Then a hawk landed by the road and left with lunch.😬🪶

Who is that? It's s Ruby- crowned Kinglet! That's not who I thought I saw through the #DirtyWindowFilter™️ on this rainy morning! There's been one chattering in the wild area beside our yard for a couple of weeks. 🪶

A striking comparison for #TwosDay. A Great Egret looking like a giant next to a Snowy Egret.

Two white birds in a brown marsh. The one on the left is very tall and elegant with a long neck. The one on the right is about one third the size.

Two views of Orion from last Saturday morning.
A nighttime scene with a starry sky and the constellation Orion. There is a snow covered mountain on the horizon, the foreground has some lit autumn trees, and a blurry fence line. The great Orion nebula through an Astro photography telescope. The image is incomplete as there was not enough time to finish the mosaic.

I'm going to complain about these birds staying out of sight the last couple of days while being heard on Merlin. These are pictures from last November when I was spoiled by their presence.
Pine Warbler, Pine Siskin, Orange Crowned Warbler and a Yellow Rumped Warbler. 🪶
