I keep my Maine state list on an official @MaineAudubon checklist in addition to eBird. I have just two unfilled boxes after seeing a Gray-cheeked Thrush on Saturday: Great Gray Owl and Sedge Wren (dipped on both several times).

Gonna start calling Yellow-rumped Warblers “banana asses” instead of “butterbutts,” just to feel something again

May 2015. David Cameron was Prime Minister, UK an EU member, Barack Obama was US President, and this male Marsh Tit hatched in Monks Wood. Colour-ringed 28 August 2015. Photo 2 April 2016. Observed every year since. @martamaziarz.bsky.social & I saw him again today, 10 yrs 5 mo old, still surviving.

Genuinely baffled as to why the Buffalo Bills are posting this birding content. Not mad, just confused. Philadelphia Eagles long play?

I wrote about the Reiser brothers and their hilarious, disgusting Listers documentary for Slate:

Just wonderfully done. Homegrown but great production value, and an hilariously accurate picture of the birder's obsession. I found it to be an entertaining mix of goofy stoner van life with compulsive and competitive listing culture. Birds, bongs, and binoculars.

We really needed a silly take on birding. This doc was hilarious and so good. The brothers are going after the ivory bill next and I can't wait to see what comes of that 😆
