I love hummingbirds so much. And the fact I have *several* in my yard with most coming to my feeders (no dyes - ever!)….it makes me so emotional I gotta admit. 🥹 I so hope everyone gets to experience this joy at some point at least once. Birds are amazing y’all!

Two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds appeared this evening in my yard and at the feeders I had ready and waiting for them. 🥹 They were my “first of year” and couldn’t be more epitome of a (mental health) glimmer. Talk about literal flying jewels and such gifts. ❤️

Three main categories for superb owl ads this year - movies/tv, pharmaceuticals, and AI….not sure what all of that means exactly. Definitely an indicator of the times and all. Definitely different from all the more nostalgic and iconic ads of the past…Women gladiators anyone? Doritos anyone?

Hi. Big fans. Loving the game. Here to cheer. But um…ya, why is a *Peregrine Falcon* being shown flying out of the tv score board? That’s one of the last “sea hawk” possible raptors out there. Help a bird nerd out here. At least put an Osprey or an eagle (bald or golden!) or something else…

Bird references continue in Super Bowl ads! Meta related ad had someone asking “do vultures eat people?” Meta didn’t answer (in ad at least) but if you wanna chat vultures or sacred Tibetan vulture funeral rituals or “sky burial”….I and other bird folk are happy to. Vultures are amazing!

Jordan E. Rutter @jerutter.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

We all know it’s Superb Owl Sunday - even ads are giving shout outs. But ironic that AI related commercial didn’t get it quite right. It should specify owls and not just birding. 😉🦉 (Also there was no birding festival in Yosemite in 2008 either so 🤔…we’ll still take it ad wise ofc)

This isn't funny or cute. It's not a matter of sense of humor or not. I & so many others are constantly trying to raise awareness of impact of outdoor cats. Outdoor cats kill ~2.4 billion (yes w a B!) each *year* in US *alone*! This card makes light of a death (bird victim) & sig conservation issue.

A notecard features a black cat with feathers floating in the air around it. The writing on it says "A little bird told me it's your Birthday....I ate him You're welcome and Happy Birthday!"
