By not removing the name of the slave owner John James Audubon from their organization, the @audubon.org sends millions of Black aspiring birders the message that they don’t belong. #birds #birding #Audubon #NationalAudubonSociety

After a rocky (literally dense foggy) start to our #ChristmasBirdCount on Saturday, we managed to find 99 species –– and I got 65 of 'em!

Black, gray, and white bird sitting on a powerline. This is Loggerhead Shrike a.k.a. the butcherbird. These are songbirds that hunt prey like they're little raptors. When they catch extra, they *impale their prey items on thorns or barbed wire* to eat sometime later. So badass! Screencap of an abridged Facebook post that reads: "On Saturday 7 volunteers conducted the John Couch Sooner Lake Christmas Bird Count. As part of the National Audubon Society’s 125th annual CBC, our intrepid birders invested a collective 43 hours and 284 miles to count every individual of every species of wild bird they could find. In addition to the 5400-acre reservoir that attracts thousands of waterfowl and gulls, the count circle includes portions of the Otoe Plains that mark the southwestern extent of the tallgrass prairie ecoregion. In the early years of this count in the 1990s, Greater Prairie-Chicken was commonly encountered; this declining species was last recorded on the count in 2005. Although winds were light and temperatures mild on the 28th, the early morning poured a pea soup fog on central Oklahoma. Visibility was at times < ¼ mile and one of our volunteers ended up stuck in a deep, muddy rut before first light. Our own feeble efforts to free the car were unsuccessful, and it was several hours before a tow truck could make it out to spot. Thankfully, the rest of the count went pretty well: We counted 18,624 individuals of 99 different species of birds. Three Black Scoters and three Long-tailed Ducks on Sooner Lake were good finds on the day. We tied a record of six Pileated Woodpeckers and fell one short of tying a record set back in 1994 for Loggerhead Shrike with 26. The top 10 most abundant birds on the count were: 1. Common Goldeneye (4851), 2. American Coot (1421), 3. Ring-billed Gull (1400), 4. Cackling Goose (940), 5. European Starling (8795), 6. Brewer’s Blackbird (856), 7. combined Greater and Lesser scaup (700), 8. combined Eastern and Western meadowlarks (555), 9. Mallard (504), and 10. Red-breasted Merganser (410). Many thanks to this year’s volunteers Mike Yough, Landon Neumann, Les Imboden, James Cowley, Joyce Myers, Elaine Stebler, and to the count Compiler, Tim O’Connell." Dark, blackish hawk perched on a wooden utility pole. This is "Harlan's" Red-tailed Hawk, a subspecies of the broader species known to country folks continent-wide. Harlan's Hawk has a breeding population in Alaska that migrates south for winter to the grasslands of the southern Great Plains. 1 found 55 Red-tailed Hawks on Saturday, but only 2 of those were Harlan's. Stop sign with school buses in the background. The sign is a red octagon that says "STOP" but also says "Nasda ne" in the Otoe-Missouri language. This is on Native land of the Otoe-Missouri in Red Rock, Oklahoma.
