🐦 Bird of the Day: The House Sparrow! 🏡
Happy Friday! For our theme, "Murmurations of Color", we are spotlighting the House Sparrow. While many sparrows are native to North America, the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a feisty little immigrant with a fascinating backstory.

🐦 Bird of the Day: White-throated Sparrow 🎶
To celebrate Day 5, "Birds, Bonds, & Belonging", we are spotlighting the White-throated Sparrow. With its striking black-and-white crown and namesake bright white throat, this charming sparrow brings both beauty and song to winter landscapes.

Folks in Europe: my book is out today for you. It’s pretty North America centric, but I think there are plenty of universal jokes as well ❤️
In case you missed it, I've got a new book called THE BIRDING DICTIONARY. It's out wherever you buy books, and it's funny yet educational, plus it's gift sized and has dozens of original cartoons. Thank you to the folks who've bought it and sent me pics of them/their kids laughing while reading!

@blackafinstem.bsky.social I've been finding #restinnature before I knew I could find rest in nature... growing up I would find myself lying outside looking at clouds on days when I felt sad or lonely as a teen. Just me, my Walkman (my music lol) #cassettedays #clouds #skybound #blackbirdersweek
