Oh, look. It’s a horrible video of a yellow warbler! Enjoy my pitiful attempts to keep my camera stable, plus all of the wonderful noises my camera makes while autofocusing :) 🪶

First time painting something. A couple things I could work on moving forward, but overall I’m pretty happy. #bird #art

Also, happy world migratory bird day. Snagged some decoration for my new lens. I’m a sucker for anything peregrine.
Circular sticker on the hood of my 150-600. The sticker contains a peregrine falcon and text that reads: “WORLD MIGRATORY BIRD DAY. Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities & Communities.”

This cute little bird is a piping plover. Unfortunately, these plovers are listed as threatened or endangered throughout most of their range. Thankfully, organizations like @nycploverproject.bsky.social are working to protect piping plovers and their habitats. #birds #pipingplover

Yesterday was a big day for Broad-winged Hawks in my area. I found around six individuals on a 15 min drive. This one was particularly cooperative. #birds #raptors

I got to decorate eggs yesterday. Of course I had to make #birds
Two decorated Easter eggs in a paper carton. The egg on the left is bright red, decorated like a Northern Cardinal. The egg on the right is made to look like a peregrine falcon.

One year ago today, I witnessed one of the most incredible spectacles: my second total solar eclipse. Can’t believe I almost missed it.
