PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

This remains one of my favorite landscape photos I've taken. The path along the loch up through the heath towards the misty cliffs was incredibly enticing.

You’ll usually spot Great Blue Herons hunting solo - but when it’s nesting time, it’s a full-on gathering! These majestic birds form massive colonies called rookeries, sometimes with up to 100 nesting pairs! Why? There’s safety in numbers, better chances at finding a mate, and shared resources.

Closing in on finishing The Birds That Audubon Missed by Kenn Kaufman. It’s fantastic, I highly recommend to all bird nerds. Also here’s a six word summary: “Trust me, bro” - John James Audubon, 1785(?)-1851

Our first Lights Out Alert is tonight (4/14): An estimated 4.1 million birds will be migrating over Oregon skies! ✨ Every light turned off reduces the risk of window collisions and keeps their journey on track. Help them travel safely by turning off all unnecessary lights from 11 p.m. to dawn.

You can now submit written comments and sign-up to give in-person testimony on our appeal case before City Council. City Council members will decide whether or not to uphold the approval of PGE's application, which would cut nearly 5 acres of trees in Forest Park. 1/2

This is disgusting Space X has already put a migratory bird hotspot in jeopardy on the Texas coast. The company has no ethical or moral compass to speak of. www.reuters.com/technology/s...

As usual, Saimi is right about all of this. Most of us can do better.

Tufted Puffins are officially back! The first ones have been spotted at Haystack Rock. Given that these birds have declined by more than 80% in Oregon over the last few decades, we want them to get all the attention they can. Help us spread the word, and head out there to see them for yourself.

I have a bunch more followers than the last time I asked, so ... can anyone help solve my ongoing ornithological mystery? Are these Carnaby's or Baudin's cockatoos? I found them in a place where the species' ranges overlap and I feel like the bill is right for Baudin's, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Thanks for the concern about the Cheezit trap, you guys. There was a lot of weird stuff around there, but I think it was the ribcage (not pictured) that convinced me to hold out and not eat the Cheezits. 🪤 🦴
