Interesting to get a Dark-eyed Junco at my aviarium. They usually just feed on the ground. It is a dark gloomy snowy afternoon here.🪶

@rosemarymosco.com I figured I got in too late to receive one of these pins, so I was delighted to have this be delivered today! Thanks Rosemary, I love it! 🪶

Happy Thanksgiving!

I put some raisins in the window feeder and the Mockingbird is gobbling them up. Cold windy dark gray day today.

This is so adorbs!
This is Scotchy. He is here to collect the belly rub toll. Would like to remind you that failing to pay results in a fine of even more belly rubs. 12/10 (TT: scotchythedoxie)

A Northern Mockingbird came to the window feeder this morning. Time to throw some raisins in there!

I may not have much ready for Thanksgiving but I've got my turkey mani done, bc, you know, priorities.

🪶 I have 45 Mourning Doves on the wires outside my house! New record I think. This pic shows 31 but some are out of frame and a few more arrived since this shot. Am I the only person feeding birds in my neighborhood?

🪶Taken just moments ago, crappy light today. Red-tailed Hawk across the street way high up in a tree. Just hangin' out, lookin' around, takin' a poop. 😂

@junkboxjim.bsky.social , look what I found today at Ollie's! Small bar, perfect for a trial. Saving it for tonight, will let you know how it is.

Stephan Pastis, I don't know how you come up with these gems!

🪶 Brown-headed Cowbirds at the feeder today. Don't often see them at my feeders!

🪶 Mr. Red-bellied WP clearing out the joint so he can eat in peace!

Hubby and I were driving home & he says "Look at that chicken". So I look up from my phone and the "chicken" was a Black Vulture feasting on a road killed racoon. Obviously, my husband doesn't know birds, and a Black Vulture is noted as a rarity for the Pittsburgh area. Yay me, finally saw one! 🪶 🥧

The nor'easter a couple of weeks ago caused a lot more than usual shells on OC MD beaches. I don't think I've ever found one this intact all the years I've been going there! I cleaned off a lot of crusty stuff and gave it a light polishing. I believe this is a Knobbed Whelk. 🐚#beachcombing

🪶Lots of "grab and go" breakfast customers this morning!

I sent my son this video of some of the ponies on Assateague so he could show my granddaughter, who is 5. He said "she is totally in love with the idea that there's an island filled with ponies!" 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Having some breakfast on the boardwalk. 1st came the Herring Gull, then 2 Fish Crows and Laughing Gulls. Great Black-backed Gull came near, but not brave enough to come up on the flood wall. 🪶

Found a Ruby-crowned Kinglet foraging in the plants at the Dunkin' on the boardwalk, OC MD.🪶

An east coast nor'easter and I have arrived at the beach at about the same time. Beach is pretty flooded. I have the worst vacation luck.
