Thanks for the info. I honestly can't complain as that is where my birding adventure started, wasn't a proper birder yet. So will go back one day & keep in mind your suggestion.

Not a birder, but
cardinals nested for years in the cedars along our driveway. I never noticed a bald one. Mostly the male
was notable for persistently attacking his own reflection in the house windows whenever the sunlight was right. That, and more successfully, menacing our cats.

There has been a huge increase in “wildlife photographers” but in reality these are people with no interest in animals only how many people will see their photos on social media. As a birder I constantly see photographers disturbing wildlife just to get their shot.

ぼんやり眺めてたまにスマホで写真を撮るだけなんだけど、妹は日本野鳥の会の会員で、元理科の教員なので、よく鳥の図鑑を貸してくれる。

今日、付録につられて買ったBIRDERという雑誌が届いた。ガチ勢は鳥類学者じゃなくてもこんな感じなんだ!と分かっただけでも買ってよかったかも。

付録の鳥見手帳、さらにすごかった。ガチ勢はこれに見つけた鳥を記録するんだな?

わたしが持ってても宝の持ち腐れですごめんなさい。

まあせっかくだから、よく見かけるスズメでもムクドリでもヒヨドリでもアオサギでもハクセキレイでもコウノトリでも、珍しくなくても見かけたら書いてみようかな。

Who said American Robin migrated south. Most stay within miles of their summer homes like my buddy here. As long they can find food they'll stay put. I had juniper planted with plenty of berries for them to eat, and other natives as well.

Oh perhaps he is an old soul! :p

I’m surprised bird watching hasn’t really hit me yet! Though I still appreciate birds! Maybe it’s accurate to say that I’m more into it than the average person, but less into it than a birder lol

Birder here. In time, you’ll probably get more species, but not a ton. Maybe a handful or so on a regular basis, and a (relative) rarity from time to time.

You are an admirable birder, Alan! I aspire to be more like you as I take advantage of retirement (inshallah — “God willing” in Arabic — a favorite saying from our time in Jordan).

BEST BITS - No 9: Little Bittern, St Mary's, June 23.
Nothing for an hour, then this tiny heron emerged from nearby reeds at Lower Moors and commenced feeding. Scilly birder Steve Holloway and I held our breath as this secretive bird performed magnificently. Pic: @runnelstone.bsky.social #ukbirding

Yes, they're...um...raucous. And gorgeous. And easy to identify, for the novice birder. But still peckerheads😁.
Look! A beautiful pecker-head flying by. 😆

I couldn't resist... If any of you have ever HEARD a Gila #woodpecker, you can attest to how screechy (and sometimes ear-piercingly annoying) they can be.

This one's a beauty, though. I do love them. #cameratrap

Saw a sight on the side of the highway yesterday that as an amateur birder was thrilling, if disturbing. A large carcass (probably a deer) was being picked at by a massive bald eagle and an army of turkey vultures! 🪶

It's really hard keeping your birder cred and cooking cred at the same time. 😅

🤣🤣🤣 the tap to add googly eyes would actually be a really funny Silver Birder set card....

today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NaturesPantry birds interacting with berries, seeds, or flowers.

when I saw the flowering plant my birder sense started tingling. 10 minutes later, this happened... #EastCoastKin
