All you Bluesky people are thoroughly lovely. Thank you for hanging out and sharing birds, bugs, sunsets and more together.

An absurdly adorable Tufted Titmouse to wish you a Happy New Year

I’ve heard it’s visible with binoculars/cameras now, may be naked-eye visible in dark skies this evening or within days (peak: 21 October)

Apparently it’s long neck day so here’s a Great Egret. Being great.

A white egret faces towards the camera as it walks along a leaf covered stream. Its very long neck is extended up.

Red birds are amazing.
