Thursday, #ThursJay. That's what I always say. 🪶🌿

Ok, I haven't tried Bluesky for local bird recommendations yet. Are we big enough? Has anyone birded around Revelstoke, BC? I'm looking for suggestions for 1 or 2 stops. I'm eyeing the ponds near the airport as one potential stop. 🌿🪶

This was on play in my 86 Bronco 2 with a discman to cassette adapter a lot.

Perfect* seasonal spring weather! *Snowy

Here's my Breeding Bird Survey Route from last year, which is pretty songbirdy if I do say so myself. Next month I wake up at 3-something to drive to the first stop at 4:18 to do this again. 🌿🪶 ebird.org/tripreport/2...
