So interesting! They've spent decades resting in little bunny wallows under the apple tree. This is the first time we've seen this, so someone really made themselves at home 😂

Ok, Brain Trust. What critter is hanging out in my mom's garden in Edmonton? It clipped all the iris leaves and then made a cozy little impression in the middle.

We’ve only crossed the “billion” threshold 1X before, in Oct. 23'. Last night, we rejoined the Billion Bird Night Club in spectacular fashion. Migration soared past 1.2 billion, marking the largest single night of bird migration ever recorded by BirdCast. Learn more: birdcast.info/news/a-new-r...

A new record night of migration for BirdCast!

Migration intensity goes off the charts, again, with a new record night of migration intensity for BirdCast!

Cuckoo Frederic is on the move and has crossed the Sahara! 🙌

Frederic had been hanging around in France while his fellow satellite-tagged Cuckoos had made it to Africa. He finally set off south around 17 September & he’s now conquered crossing the Sahara Desert in Africa! 🌍 #Ornithology #Birds

How about a busy shorebird with places to go? Shorebirds make everything a little bit better

A white and dark gray shorebird struts along in front of the blurry ocean in the background. The wet sand reflects the adorable bird.

Lots of sanderlings, ruddy turnstones, and some barnacles during a coastal prowl this week

Photograph of two sanderlings (small shorebirds) on a beach as flat waves roll up over the sand and push against large dark rocks behind the birds.

Photograph of a sanderling (a small shorebird with a white underside and black patterned wings) poking its beak into wet sand between scattered, multi-colored rocks.

Photograph of a ruddy turnstone (a small shorebird with mottled rust-red and brown wings and a white underside) standing on a dark, wet rock with coastal waves rippling behind.

A whimbrel standing tall on a small rock with dark colored water in the background. It’s a medium sized shorebird with a long slightly curved bill.

I was adjusting the exposure to capture the rain falling from these impressive storm clouds when an eagle soared into the frame.
