If it were any other player, I’d say this is BS, but the way Baez plays baseball makes me think that weed is a PED for him.

Bluesky is doing a terrible job of cropping this thumbnail, but if you click on it, I think you’ll enjoy my photo of a Cooper’s Hawk 🪶 #bronx

This Pine Warbler that’s been overwintering in Franz Sigel Park has got to be the brightest yellow bird in the Bronx right now. 🪶

Fox Sparrows only seem to show up in my yard when there’s snow on the ground. I’ve been seeing a lot of Fox Sparrows recently. 🪶

I didn’t get to do nearly as much birding last year as I usually do, but I did get 25 lifers, which was pretty sweet. #eBirdRecounted2025 🪶

As far as I can tell, this is the first building with more than four units built in Woodlawn since at least 1961.

Someday I will find the Great Horned Owl that lives in the cemetery near by house, but today is not that day. 🪶 #bronx

My friend Alex and I managed to pick out “Tough Ted” the Tufted Duck out of a flock of about 100 Ring-necked Ducks and Lesser Scaup. A lifer and NY state bird number 298! 🪶

At lunch today, we did a family year-end recap. We started with our favorite YouTube videos of the year. My kids (7 and 9) both named the Half-Asleep Chris video where he gets a new kitten as their top pick. youtu.be/EG3H5VV1LAI?...

Every year I make a calendar for friends and family with some of my best bird photos of the year. I’m thinking about putting this Anna’s Hummingbird on the cover. 🪶
