So there’s not a whole lot I can do about this in the short term but those listening to Songbirding via YouTube Music (because Google forced us podcasters there when shutting down Google Podcasts) will not get the latest episode due to a copyright claim for Ovenbird birdsongs 🤦‍♂️ The claim is of…

Sometimes bird photographers get annoyed with stems in front of birds, but how about a stem passing through the bird? 😂 This Northern Cardinal male's crest is lightly brushing a vine stem. 🪶 #NorthernCardinal #birds #birding

Amongst all the annoyance at Twitch's changes it at least pushed me to push stream videos onto YT. Here's a stream of me going through bird photos, videos, and audio from the first week of 2025. Plenty more weeks to post if it's of interest. 🪶 #birding #birds www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbvY...

I guess starting tonight I'm formally in the drafting stage of scripting a new limited podcast series. It will be about birdsong in a way, but very different than Songbirding. So far it's been months of making scrap notes with ideas and breaking down sub-topics and interview subjects...

I forgot to share this at the time, but during the Flamborough Christmas Bird Count I managed to find this Marsh Wren just north of Crieff, Ontario. It turned out to be the first record ever in Wellington County of this species in the winter. 🪶 #ChristmasBirdCount #birds #MarshWren

Unwin Avenue bridge - the undisputed Toronto spot to sit for an hour and observe hundreds of our winter birds congregating in the open area along the edge of the ice. This morning with Feminist Bird Club watching two dozen species including shovelers, many trumpeter swans, and hundreds of redheads.

Beginning to catch up on posting my 2025 photos. Have been out of commission due to a muscle injury so very little time out birding. Here's a Double-crested Cormorant, seen along the Bayfront Park trail in Hamilton, Ontario. 🪶 #HamOnt #Ontario #birds #birding #DoubleCrestedCormorant

So I got another one of those “we have a guest for your podcast” (that records in the field and has no guests generally 😂) but this time from a very popular bird feeder company… and entirely AI generated. Maybe if they reached out with a real person, but I’m just so disappointed with this approach.

Still around. Had a back spasm lead eventually to a muscle injury that had me in a lot of pain the last couple weeks so no podcasts, videos and not much birding done. Snuck in a couple livestreams when the pain took a pause just to feel something approaching productive.
