Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds.
When I first saw Bullock's orioles in our trees I thought they were after the blossoms. But no, they were looking for bees.

Today is my Bluesky one-year anniversary. The first photo I posted was of Hoppy (left) and her partner, Not-Hoppy. To celebrate, here's a recent shot of them following their daily early morning grooming schedule.

Timeline cleanse. The code reviewer.
A black cat is lying stretched out across a desk in front of a triple-monitor computer setup. The cat is yawning with its mouth wide open. The center monitor displays a dark-themed code editor with code, while the side monitors show a forest wallpaper. On the left side of the desk are two Rubik’s cubes and a gold-colored insulated cup. A Logitech mouse and ergonomic keyboard are in front of the cat.

A small gray bird with a pointy crest and white throat and belly stands on a bare branch looking serious. Seriously cute that is.

East River, after sunset 🌅

Astoria, 1.6.2026
The Triborough Bridge over the East River at sunset on a cloudy day. Clouds above are light purple, revealing bit of sky that is gray and pink. Bright pink is reflected in the water. The skyline of Manhattan can be seen, hazy, under the bridge in the background

Another highlight from last year. This pair of ravens were raising chicks that had already hatched out by the end of April. One morning, they lucked into a raccoon carcass that supplied them with a lot of much-needed food. I caught this intimate moment as one passed food to the other. #birds 🌿
Two ravens pass food between them as they stand over a barely-visible lump of brown fur that was a raccoon.

🪶 A lone Swan paddles across a lake, backlit by the sunset. Clare, Ireland

A Swan’s silhouette is backlit against a lake by the setting sun. The swan is in the centre of the frame, amongst a small clump of short reeds, with its shadow reflected against the water. The water is a shining yellow in the foreground fading to dark as you move to the background.

Good morning! For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #speckles&spots (birds with speckled or spotted plumage) we are joined by this magnificent Common Loon (or Diver, depending on where in the world you are). What a glorious few minutes I spent with this beautiful bird.

White-crowned Sparrow. British Columbia, #Canada

Fun Fact: they share their territories with Fox Sparrows, but chase Chipping Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos until they leave as they are seen as rivals for territory and food.
