This smug House Finch was upset that I had to clean the feeders. #birds

I put my belt on over my overalls this AM so that’s where I am. Hi 👋🏻

New on @bsky.app! I am based in #Mongolia where I work with @goviinkhulan.bsky.social to protect the threatened #Khulan, Gobi #wildlife and the unique Gobi Desert #ecosystem, together with #localcommunities. Happy to #connect with anyone with a #passion for wildlife, nature and conservation!

I’m sending out this sweet little 🪶Dark-eyed Junco ❤️ out into Bluesky just because it’s been a really traumatic and rough day for so many people and we all just need a reason to smile.

Here’s a angry Coot for #wadingwednesday! #birds 🦉🪶

I feel rather silly posting this, but if you're an U.S.-based ornithologist/bird conservation professional whose work is being affected by *all of this*, I'm a freelance science journalist who mostly writes about bird stuff & I'd love to hear from you. I even have a Signal account now! #ornithology

Yall I just had a Hermit Thrush on my front porch. #birds

Been enjoying harassing lots of kererū with my camera! One of New Zealand's beautiful native birds

I *REALLY* wish I was able to get this tough boi in focus. #birds

An Eastern Towhee on Transis Camp Rd. I love their red eyes! #birds

ARG!

I am once again asking you to look at a Great Blue Heron. #birds 🦉

People: “Insects are scary and gross.” Rosy maple moth: 🥺

Having worked in and around birding optics for decades I'm often asked my opinion on similar models and what do I recommend. The best advice I can give is: 1) know your budget, 2) compare similar spec models at different price points and 3) try before you buy! #BirdingGear 🧵 1/13

Good morning and happy Friday from me and this Purple Finch 🦉#yardbirds

@adamavenir.bsky.social 👋🏻 hiya!

Time for the @bsky.app community to see one of my favorite visualizations of climate change... "Shifting Distribution of Land Temperature Anomalies" by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5211/ ⚒️🧪

Now that BlueSky seems to be picking up, let’s have some fun 😄 It’s been a long time since I’ve given away free avatars. Reply to this post with a photo. The more goofy, the better! I’ll pick at least 10 to draw for free! Please share! And follow for silly doodles and software posts 😜
