It was extremely cold, windy, and very wet on the Churchill River last week, but seeing these guys made, you forget all of that. The river is the seasonal home have about 3000 beluga whales who come there to feed, moult, and calve. 🐋🌿

A female red-winged blackbird carries a long, weathered cattail leaf as she flies through the reeds to build her nest at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the blackbird is centered in the frame with her wings fully extended and tail feathers fanned. She grips the thick end of the leaf in her beak, its length trailing well beneath her as she weaves through the cattails.

The entire scene is enveloped in last season’s earth-toned reeds, crisscrossing in every direction. Fine detail in her wings reveals subtle hints of red, a reminder that even female red-winged blackbirds carry touches of that signature color. A quiet, beautiful moment in nature.

Our snowstorm last week brought quite a few purple finches into our yard for a few days. We don’t often see the shy males, and usually the females are here for only a day or so before heading north to nest. This male, cane out of hiding to show off his incredible red colour! #Birds #photography 🪶

Was very excited to pick up newly arrived migrants on my #TenMinMerlin but instead I suffered from Urban Noise Pollution Hard Mode™️ (street sweeping in addition to the usual traffic, planes, and trains) Still a decent bunch, just nothing new. "Mockingbird" is of course my weird local crows

Screenshot of the bird identification app Merlin showing the birds identified by sound in my yard in Columbus Ohio. Species include the warm brown House Sparrow, red crested Northern Cardinal, gray and brown white-throated Sparrow, gray and orange American Robin, flat blue-gray white-breasted Nuthatch, pink and brown House Finch, gray Northern Mockingbird that was not actually there, a glowing yellow American Goldfinch, and a tiny olive green Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
