¡LITTLES! Found quite a few beeebs this weekend. 1. Le Femme Kestrél 2. Upstart Whydah 3. White-crowned princeling #birds

Young femme kestrel, and it seems like she's practicing her tough bird pose

A splatter-painted finch-sized bird with a bright red orange beak and a just budding tail. That will soon be very long.

A happy looking sparrow with a sweet fro that's striped like a skunk hopping along on a grassy field

Poor fellas, the roadrunners, you, me, everyone. I'm sure they're grateful for your hospitality

Maybe the most boopable bird of all 🪶

A snowy plover, here standing in a small depression in the sand, an orange and pink band on either leg.

It's easy to misidentify when the field marks are obscured by darkness and/or the birders own fatigue and under-caffeination. I would not chalk it up to any lack in the robustness of the male specimen :)

I'm always stoked to see a Varied Thrush in the woods. Winter is coming! #birding Lane County, Oregon today

I'm so glad he and me were ever such good friends and the affection is mutual and if I were some lizard or toad he'd just protect me and take me places 🪶

Same bird, same perch, but here he's staring me down with an adorable but murderous glare

Pls look at my merry murderous little munchkin 🪶

OK, this cookies'n'cream dude is ridiculously cute, too #birds

Hey, black and white warbler with a little yellow beauty mark beside his eye and then behind his little black beak, bending a long thin stem.

Sanderlings and black-bellied plovers—party, often, to the best sunsets in the world. And I could swear that while they're working hard part of the time, they also pause, like us, just to be thrilled with it all. 🪶

It mostly silhouIt mostly silhouetted plover in front of rose colored water with waves streaking antarctic gray blue

Ha, yep. I'll just be out here on the edge of the West sharing in the primordial gladness of the shorebirds

As if the sea and sanderlings were not enough, the Pixies (!!) were performing at the Ohana Festival a mile up the beach, and they played "Where Is My Mind?" as the sun set and the sky and water and shore all turned to rose fire 🪶
