Ian Rupar @irupar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026New lifer today! Was watching/taking photos of some ring necked ducks and hooded mergansers when another birder told me he had just heard an eastern towhee nearby. Was surprised to find one so far north so soon. I have a video that I will add shortly once I cut it down #birds 170

Ian Rupar @irupar.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Great Horned Owl update: lugged out a tripod and used a teleconvertor to take some some 4k videos of the great horn owl nest. Now I'm wondering if I should be looking at parabolic microphones although probably not in the budge this year #birds 190
Ian Rupar @irupar.bsky.social · 26/03/2025I back tracked to where I saw the great horn owl I saw yesterday to see where it came from and I think I found its mate sitting in a nest. Going to track this over the coming weeks. Hopefully will see some fledglings in a couple of weeks #birds 0120
Ian Rupar @irupar.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Found the hooter that I heard a couple of days ago. Not the best photos of a great horn owl but first ones in awhile for me. Hopefully I can find where the nest is and figure out a good angle for clearer shots #birds 080
Ian Rupar @irupar.bsky.social · 15/03/2025A new lifer bird for me today. Went to see a flock of Tundra Swans that are refueling on their flight north #birds 1171
