🪶 If you need a breather, take a minute to listen to Common Loons (and a Barred Owl) call on a northern lake in late summer. (Bonus appearance by an alarmed sparrow of some sort?)

I stumbled across the local great gray owl this evening. He/she decided they'd rather hunt where I wasn't. I'm surprised I managed a sort of in focus image as they slipped silently into the forest. #birds

A large grey gray owl flies in front of a darkening forest. The background is quite out of focus, accentuating the movement of the owl. The last light of the sun illuminates the trees and the owl's wings.

As the first W2s start going out, FreeTaxUSA is once again offering free federal & state taxes to qualifying filers. If your filing isn’t complicated- they may be worth a look. Good for teens with first jobs, so pass it on to young family members even if you don’t qualify. #taxes

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH I finally found another Attidops nickersoni! 😍 Found the first 2 years ago, had been looking ever since with no luck. These silly tiny children like longleaf pine bark, or, in my 2 experiences, cypress bark. Just little flat stripy children 🤎 #EmotionalSupportSpood 🧪

Snow on the ground, a little patch of earth, and one cozy American Tree Sparrow soaking in the winter calm. That rusty cap and bi-colored bill pop so nicely against the snow. Moments like this are why I’ve grown to love winter birding. #WiscoBirder 📷👐🏾🫶🏾🪶

The presence of Common Loons indicates ecosystem health because their bodies accumulate mercury and other contaminants as they move up the food chain. Loon monitoring can double as ecosystem health monitoring. The ABA salutes all the birders who monitor and protect Common Loons.

You can help keep your friends safe. Naloxone (Narcan) is a medicine that reverses opioid overdoses. It is available for free in many communities or for purchase at a pharmacy. Find out where you can pick up naloxone and have it with you wherever you go: WAFriendsForLife.com

2. Hold the canister like this: place the spray nozzel between your pointer and middle fingers. Place your thumb on the bottom center, where the push button is.

3. Insert the nozzel into either nostril. Your fingers should touch their nose.
