Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&Red. My friend here thinks I should be disqualified, because his breast is technically rose. I think he’s too pretty not to share. #RoseBreastedGrosbeak #birds #ECK 2320
Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This Blue Jay is my #BirdOfTheDay for today’s theme, #BokehBirds — any bird with a soft, muted, or blurred background. #birds #ECK 0240

Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Today’s project is rehabbing a #Monarch who can’t fly. She’s got sugar water, milkweed leaves, and butterfly-friendly flowers. She’s in a sunny spot with a shady patch (thanks @ellygriffiths.bsky.social) and a section of wire top to hang from. Additional suggestions welcome. 2123
Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A reminder that if you were vaccinated between 1963 and 1967, you may not have immunity. (Link in comments.) I asked my doctor for a blood test to check, and I needed an MMR vaccine. 230

Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 05/08/2026My #BirdOfTheDay entry today is an Anna’s Hummingbird that fits both the main theme, #RedOrDead — any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird (or a bird on bare winter branches) — and the alt theme, #SummerVisitors — migratory birds associated with summer. 🪶 #ECK 0210
Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Speckled — just like this female Red-winged Blackbird, who is neither red-winged nor black. 🪶 #ECK 0160

Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts — some of your earliest bird captures. This House Finch was one of the first birds I captured with my new camera — a big step up from my phone. 🪶 #EKC 1240
Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It’s #BestOfJuly day at #BirdOfTheDay — This little juvenile Northern Cardinal was a regular at the feeder last month and quickly became a favorite. 🪶 #ECK 1322

Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 01/08/2026My July reads I just finished the last installment of @sularigentill.bsky.social ‘s Rowland Sinclair series—mysteries that center on a group of fictional Australians who encounter historical figures during the rise of fascism in the 1930s. The themes, of course, are all too timely. #booksky 1120
Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Though it’s already tomorrow in Ireland, from whence #BirdOfTheDay originates, I’m sneaking in a last-minute entry for the alt theme #Yellow. #AmericanGoldfinch 🪶 #ECK 0211

Reposted by Mary MPetra Michaela @petramichaela.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Not everyone loses their sense of wonder. Some people still stop for butterflies, smile at frogs, listen for owls, and wake early just to watch the sunrise. May we never become too busy to notice the little miracles that make life beautiful. 392980458
Mary M @marynh.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #LastBird – the last bird/birds on your camera roll. I was surprised to see this Eastern Bluebird at the feeder yesterday. They are regulars in the winter, but seeds usually can’t compete with the tasty bugs available in the summer. 🪶 #ECK 1261
