Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has declared the #BirdOfTheDay themes. Today is birds on #Feeders or birds sporting #Green plumage. I’m going with more shots through my Dirty Window Filter™️ of a Northern Mockingbird, a new frequent visitor at my suet feeder. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #BOTD

A bedroom-window photo of a primarily grey Northern Mockingbird inside the bush that houses my suet feeder. He’s quite nosy and in this shot he is eyeballing me through the (dirty) glass.

Another bedroom-window photo of a primarily grey Northern Mockingbird inside the bush that houses my suet feeder. He has a black bill and large dark eyes. He’s handsome & I think he knows it!

They are beautiful little birds! The feather patterns are stunning.

I wish we had an edit button 🙄 because there are so many words missing from my comment 🫣 But I still love pico de gallo! 🍅🌱🧅🌱🌶️ and I’m glad I have the non-soap cilantro gene 😊

Ground coriander seed is very flavorful in stews and soups & meat dishes! 🧆🍲

We are on the South Fork of the Kern River in California. (West Slope of the Southern Sierras). We had a breeding population in the past but it’s been declining. I’ve never seen one 🥹

House Sparrows are the loud, high-drama neighbors everyone wishes would move out of the neighborhood. (But I love them and their antics!)

My childhood home had Ice Plant and this is the bloom I remember. So many bees in Spring & Summer!

I recorded my very first #TenMinMerlin today from my bathroom window. It faces the bushes where my birds are very noisy. But it also caught the neighbor loudly playing video games (“that mf’er is going down!”) and a military jet in test flight.🤷‍♀️ I learned we have Killdeer in the area, prob in flight

Screen shot of my resident birds via the Merlin bird sound app. In order of appearance: Red-Winged Blackbird, House Sparrow, Common Raven, Northern Mockingbird, House Finch, and a new-to-me Killdeer. Missing here is the late-to-the-game White-crowned Sparrow (my fav bird friend.)

Great close up! I’m in the market for a bird cam & I like the quality of the videos that you’ve captured. Can I ask which brand you use?

For my #BirdOfTheDay side shot entry, I’m excited to share two photos that I captured today, proving that I do in fact have a resident Scrub Jay & also a small flock of Red Wing Blackbirds at my feeder. (Shout out to @debmaluk.bsky.social who I believe has the patent out on the Dirty Window Filter.)

Photo of my resident blue & gray Scrub Jay in the front yard.

A very poor photo of a Red-Winged Blackbird at my feeder. It’s the first time that I’ve these birds in my yard.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WingsWideOpen I’ve tried catching the raven pair that roosts near my house, but they are too fast! This lousy shot is fun though as one dips to the roadway. I love the fancy wing tips! #photography #birds #EastCoastKin #corvids #SequoiaNationalForest

Photo of a Common Raven swooping along the roadway with open wings and pretty fringed wing tips.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Feathers&Form Celebrating texture, pattern, and structure of feathers. I must resubmit a recent photo of a stunning House Finch. #photography #EastCoastKin #birds @alan678.bsky.social @robcrank68.bsky.social

Wait, I don’t think government jobs are even included in this job metric. I want to see US 2025 job gains/losses by industry. Anyone have a #graph handy by industry? #economics #unemployment #employment #USJobNumbers

Just giving you evil side eye. I suspect he’s heard about your plot against the doves. 😉
