We all know it’s Superb Owl Sunday - even ads are giving shout outs.

But ironic that AI related commercial didn’t get it quite right. It should specify owls and not just birding. 😉🦉

(Also there was no birding festival in Yosemite in 2008 either so 🤔…we’ll still take it ad wise ofc)

This isn't funny or cute. It's not a matter of sense of humor or not. I & so many others are constantly trying to raise awareness of impact of outdoor cats. Outdoor cats kill ~2.4 billion (yes w a B!) each *year* in US *alone*! This card makes light of a death (bird victim) & sig conservation issue.

Highly recommended read!

I’m biased since Roxie has always been a hero of mine. But I’ve got to say this book makes you a bigger Roxie fan no matter what you know of her. And whether you’re a #bird lover or not too. She was such an incredible person that overcame so much and accomplished so much.

Happy holidays from Jordan, Eider, and Gabriel!

Wishing you all the best this winter, especially peace, health, and love.

Here’s to a bright and birdy 2026!

Oh hey there Ross! You’re looking extra cute today. No need to be shy and try to hide behind some veg. Congrats on claiming bronze for your species as our third ever county record! It means a lot that you stopped at a farm pond right down the road, and even more that G & I found you.

🪶 Birds inspire me daily — their songs, resilience, and epic journeys remind us why conserving them matters.

Happy World Migratory Bird Day from this pair of bird nerds! 🪶 We’re out doing a big sit to celebrate and wonder at the true phenomenon of fall migration. So far the most notable species we’ve had are ~100 Tree Swallows & 4 Common Mergansers. We hope you get out there & enjoy too. Birds are amazing!

Happy Holidays! 2024 was a stand-out year for many reasons, but our wedding was hard to beat!
There were lots of adventures we'll always cherish. Plus, we'll never forget when the furry king Eider got to "meet" the feathered King Eider.
We wish you love, health, & , of course, lots of birds in 2025!
