This calendar has become an annual gift to me from my spouse. It hangs by the front door and brings joy to all who gaze upon the supple limbs of each month's featured bird. There's a large sealed envelope in our closet right now and I know the 2026 calendar awaits.

Can I interest you in a baby barred owl scaling a redwood with its claws and beak as a parent watches? It didn't know it couldn't fly yet and fluttered down right in front of us before quickly heading back up. It was amazing to watch with my own kiddos. #birds
