Let’s help @jengolbeck.bsky.social find the person who lost this gem!
Jen Golbeck found a very well loved ‘field guide to the birds’ in FL with notes going back decades. Images are of duck, sparrow, and dove pages.

I mean, you could do that. But that would require a lot of CDs.

Duckling photos (both the original Hooded Merg and this Wood Duck) by Alex Sobolev
Gray duck is swimming to the right, with 8 small ducklings in a tight row; all ducklings are dark with pale cheeks and a dark eye line, except for the second to left duckling, which has a dark, peachy colored chin.

I’m Heidi and I work on bird window collision prevention, currently based in Ann Arbor, MI.

Apparently my claim to fame is giving a bird safe design presentation to architects the day after the McCormick Place mass collision event.

A grinning woman wearing glasses and a red and black knit hat, with dark braided pigtails, and a dark blue/gray shirt is hugging a large whooping crane costumed person that is fuzzy and white, with a bright red forehead, and huge, startled looking orange eyes with black pupils. The beak is yellow with a single, comma shaped nostril visible on the side. In the background is the booth from the American Birding Association and their coffee display. A collaborative cartoon between FLAP.org and birdandmoon.com that explains why birds hit and how to prevent it. A reflection of the author/photographer in a window that is supposed to be bird safe, but it’s not, because it shows a very strong reflection of the scenery behind the author/photographer, as well as strong transmission of light from the other side of the building, showing trees. A window pane reflecting a pale blue sky and side of a building has bright white dots every 2 inches across the outer surface of the glass. A faint angular pattern is visible behind the dots. The author/photographer’s hand is pressed against the glass with the left index finger pointing at one of the dots near the center of the photo.
