Figured if I'm going to use this here app I should probably say something about myself - I'm Jen, a former field ornithologist turned environmental regulator working on permitting restoration projects in California. I love birds (& all wildlife) and dogs (especially my standard poodle Dipper 🐩🖤).

Birds, you amazing resourceful little weirdos
Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯
Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke...

An elusive California mammal has just been photographed alive for the first time
Until last year, only one California mammal species had never been caught on camera. A group of Bay Area researchers just shared the first photo of it.

A female Pileated Woodpecker heading to a different part of the woods after being chased around by a much smaller Red-headed Woodpecker. Red-headed Woodpeckers will store their food in tree cavities, and this one may have thought the Pileated was after the food stashes.
