Now that the weather is well above freezing, the bluebirds are not so friendly with each other. The maximum occupancy of a feeder seems to be 3, not 10, as before. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

The edge of the baffle is serrated from little bite sized chunk removals. I admire the perseverance and planning ability of the squirrel. We had to raise it because a fresh young one outsmarted it. Also an easy way to distinguish individual #squirrels is by their ears - spacing, angle, shape etc

Poor early Robin 😭 we took peanut suet off from the cage feeder so he could eat something. There was a second but this one chased it in the afternoon before we figured out how to feed them. Don't know if it ever returned #BackyardBirding #birds #birding

Our little friend Sidewinder. Some prior injury makes her straighten her spine while eating. I saw her fall 35 feet last month, no rehab would respond or accept her. She comes every day for food. We think she's older, she's experienced, she can hold her own. We love her but want to help her pain

Last photo I have of Red Head. He's gone again. There was a hawk in our yard the last hour I saw him. I chased it off but I think it either got him or he bailed on the area. It had just thawed this week, frigid weekend. Every day I hope to see him but it's been 4 days. Not looking good

There's oakmoss lichen with this one! It has a wonderful scent when I made a strong hydrosol

Good Evening 🌘 from Germany šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ "Our" Middle Spotted #Woodpecker can now be seen quite regularly, and he has even started to "sing" his somewhat idiosyncratic mating "song" šŸŽ¶ 🄰. Have a great Saturday full of 🪶#birds

Norther Flicker flying across my backyard! Their colors are stunning! I’m lucky that they are year-round residents! Long Island, NY #birds #photography

House finches love to nibble on the buds of cherry blossoms as they bloom 🌸 The result is that petals get scattered all over the ground around the base of the trees sometimes before the pollinators even get their chance šŸ“·šŸŖ¶

He's alive ā™„ļøšŸ¤šŸ–¤ He finally showed up two days ago in the afternoon. But he's very cold, doing everything to protect body heat. Hope the cold lets up soon. We're ready for winter to be over. #BackyardBirding #birds #woodpeckers #birding

Wild #birding is not always fun. We haven't seen Sad Wing in a month. I don't think she's alive anymore. This is the last photo I have of her. She used to stop by every day for peanuts. It's been 4 days since I last saw Red Headed Woodpecker. I hope he just went south but I have a bad feeling.

The White Breasted nuthatches finally trust me when I'm outside, but they won't fly up to the window feeders if we're too close. Sometimes I swear they do borderline UAP maneuvers when aborting trajectory. By far the best fliers of the mixed species flock. #BackyardBirds #birding #birds

Chickadee stopping by on a beautiful winter day #BackyardBirds #birding #birds (Bonus Nuthatch in the background)

I call him my little tree duck because of how they look when taking off in flight ā™„ļø #birds #birding #BackyardBirds

I couldn't calculate the height of this towering awe stack, but suffice to say I was properly impressed by its dynamic gusto. The big sky where I live is my soul's entertainment from May through October. #photography #clouds #cloudstack #skyphotos #skyphotography #blueskyphotography #beautifulplanet

A page of common ravens. Thank you to @animalphotorefs.bsky.social for the reference pics! #art #sketch #addBirder

The moody and majestic Red Headed #Woodpecker sneaks peeks at us on the window feeder ā™„ļø We are right on the edge of their year round range. He's not very picky about food - he seems to like suet and sunflower seeds the most. #BackyardBirds #birding

Another reason to transition into a more private digital lifestyle. Obviously this practice will increase and reporting to the #FTC is useless, especially once it's explicitly legalized. r/degoogle and r/privacy have resources to start

I might as well live in preparation for the two #dreams I've had about specific years in the future: A day in the life year 2038, and an atlas copyright 2060 where the page detailed US demographic/population shifts of 2030s. I think about them every day. Maybe it's all my fault.

I think the Red Bellies finally got revenge on my Gothic Prince. He's missing a few wing feathers! (Maximum zoom = potato quality sorry.) Poor guy was shivering occasionally in his newest brooding spot yesterday. #WoodpeckerWednesday #BackyardBirds #birds #birding
